"Our ferment-based formulas are second to none. Many have tried to duplicate or modify and none have come close to the cost-efficiency and effectiveness of our nature-based products; nor do they have the research teams in place to ensure a multitude of applications in a world where governments are going Green."

Do the ferment-based formulas in EESO's nature-based products use synthetic enzymes? Could you site any studies showing "potentially causing allergic reactions or other health complications" using ferment-based, nature-based, enzyme products made by EESO? How about any studies testing synthetic enzymes?

My skin has itched from sleeping on sheets washed with bleach...even after a good rinse.

Of course, let's hope your toddler doesn't accidently drink EcoStores environmentally-safe products.


"Of course ecostore products do contain chemicals" (according to EcoStore's own website)

For example, their laundry detergent contains sodium percarbonate (again, per their website), which is just a dry granulated form of hydrogen peroxide:

according to the msds for sodium percarbonate, http://www.shangyuchem.com/En/msds/sodium-percarbonate-msds.pdf

-May be harmful or fatal if swallowed
-May cause severe eye and respiratory tract irritation or burns
-May cause skin irritation

Inhalation -Irritating to the respiratory tract. Coughing, sneezing, difficulty breathing and sore throat.
Eye contact - May cause irritation to the eyes, including pain, redness and reversible damage.
Skin contact - Slight irritation.
Ingestion - Vomiting and diarrhea.


I think I'll stick with.... "crawling" enzymes... lol @ BiggerStaff.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the bleaching chemical in EcoStore's laundry detergent is an oxidizing agent, which means that contact with certain other chemicals can cause fire... yes FIRE!!!! lol

I don't think there is a risk of that with EESO's products.

Synthetic or natural , which way do you choose?
Natural products should be safer. Know what kind of enzymes you are using.

I use a MiracleII moisturizing soap found on the internet , based in W. M. , La. , best natural soap found ever.

Bio Identical hormone replacement again natural, not synthetic.

Drugs , not synthetic but use natural products instead.

Hmmmm,,,,any scientifically documented cases of this ever happening? None that I have seen yet.

"Synthetic enzymes are widely used in laundry products.
They are effective at breaking down proteins and fat stains on clothes. Using enzymes means you can wash in cold water and you don't need as many harsh chemicals. We believe the downside of using synthetic enzymes in laundry products is more significant. If residual enzymes are trapped in your clothing/sheets/underwear they are up against your skin day and night. They can be reactivated by sweat and moisture - and start doing the job they were designed for - removing fats/protein - on your skin and potentially causing allergic reactions or other health complications."

Just because they say they believe it sure doesn't make it so. Sounds like more scare tactics to get people to shy away from enzyme based products and buy theirs. Scare tactics, now that's something you know a lot about, right?
