Diethyl Phthalates (DEP)

I originally posted the following message to the blog back in November 2007 -- I will be listing the fragrances that contain DEP on the blog this week. Thank you all for your patience!

===================

On a serious note, I've received many emails questioning our fragrance ingredients ... specifically about Diethyl Phthalate (DEP). In regards to DEP, please visit the following links to read concerning "Diethyl Phthalate":

Per our manufactuer: "It has been proven to be the only phthalate that is safe for use in fragrance products. DEP got a bad rep in the press 5 years ago due to association and people failed to follow up on the science afterwards. So there is still some buzz about DEP but it’s been proven to be safe."

So we should all trust what the manufacturer says and the government? I think not.
