To A blogger that had suggested that Pangea might not be so clean.... Dear Blogger, My name is Joshua Scott Onysko and I am the founder of Pangea Organics as well as the Chief Product Officer for the company. I applaud you for taking steps towards educating yourself and others on clean skin and body care products. It is important to note that although I love EWG/Skindeep they themselves will tell you that there is a giant “data gap” with the data they use to rate products. On the left hand side of the page you will see a section that reads “Data Available” Lets take EUGENIA CARYOPHYLLUS (CLOVE) LEAF OIL for example, the data available to EWG on this ingredient is listed as “limited” Our clove oil is steam distilled and certified organic and has no toxicity when applied topically and in all honesty is also edible but not when it is blended in a Pangea product. So you see listing it as a 5 on their rating system is a bit misleading to the consumer who does not understand a data-gap. When it comes to potassium sorbate & sodium benzoate, we have found these ingredients to be the best and safest ingredients to preserve products and keep them free from the growth of harmful bacteria and or microbes. Most companies use these two ingredients and or replace them with more harmful preservatives or simply remove them from the label to reduce customer concerns and or to pass a sniff test to make it to the shelves of the natural foods industry. As a formulator I will tell you that if you tested most products on the shelf of the Natural Foods Industry you will find that approximately 70% of brands simply don’t list all of the ingredients they use. This a sad but true fact that the consumer should be aware of. Pangea prides itself on being the cleanest most truthful and effective brand on the market. We continually are leading the way in cutting edge formulation and truth in labeling. Sincerely, Joshua Scott Onysko Founder/CPO Pangea Organics
