I Like Charlie's Soap

I use it for laundry, for pre-washing, if I'm out of dish washing liquid, to clean the bathroom. If it's dirty, I can use Charlie's Soap.

I just read this article:

from their newsletter. I know about dust mites, but from one Monk to another, imagine my horror! ICK AND EEK!

I do wash our pillows, but I'm guilty of washing most laundry in cold water. From now on, the pillows and bed clothes will be washed in hot water and of course, with the Charlie's Soap. For those of us who are sensitive or allergic to corn, this is a blessing. No skin irritation, no itching in my eyes, no nasty fumes or perfumes. It's just laundry soap. It does the job and then some. And that's all I want from it.

Natural/Organic Brands Against GMO Labels

Taken from the avoiding corn forum:



Natural/Organic Brands Against GMO Labels

Companies who oppose our right to know what we are eating, and the ones who support our rights.

What's that smell? GMO flavors and fragrances from yeast being developed:

No consensus on the safety of GMOs. Many experts very concerned that they are not safe.

Pass this information on to other people who are concerned about GMOs and other hazards.

Avoiding Corn Forum

I use this site for help to avoid corn, and advice on just about anything for corn-free living:

Just in case you are allergic or intolerant to corn or know someone who is.

http://www.tomsofmaine.com/ for corn-free toothpaste.  I can't use this because the corn-free toothpaste has strawberries, and I'm allergic to strawberries.


Products I want to try:
http://www.gfsoap.com/ corn-free, fragrance-free soaps


Products I cannot eat:
Newman's Own Organics -does contain about 2% cornstarch.  I wrote asking if they can change to potato starch instead.  Who knows, they might!
