California Proposition 65 Warning Check

California Proposition 65 warning is only available to California residents.ย I can check if a product has a warning for you!ย The product check will also include whether the product is toxic, greenwashing, or safe.

Product Check: Toxic, Greenwashing, or Approvedย 

With the high demands for organic and eco-friendly products, marketing agencies have become more tricky and they developed a marketing misleading approach to the consumer called greenwashing!ย 

โ€‹

With 10+ years of career in product safety research, scientific, chemicals studies, and marketing master degree studies, I am able to spot products with toxic, controversial ingredients and misleading marketing statements used by companies to sell their products.ย 

I designed this service to educate you and not be another victim of powerful marketing strategies!

ย 

What is Greenwashing?

Greenwashing marketingย strategies are when companies want to sell us their toxic and polluting products making them pass as natural, safe, or organic!

  • They may use deceiving claims such asย โ€œnon-toxic,โ€ ”natural, “local” or even โ€œorganicโ€ย in their cheap-to-make andย  NOTย  eco-friendly products. Remember that these words are not legally regulated and if there isn’t a USDA Organic Certification seal displayed on a product, they can say anything they want.ย 

  • They may deceive us by usingย green-colored packagingย or carefullyย crafted graphics representing natureย or evoking an eco-friendly environment.

Their goal is to make think you are buying safe and eco-friendly products or services. They want to show they care when they are not: they are lying to us!
