BODY WASH

EC30 swatches can be divided if you find the amount of product too much (for example, some people with short hair find the shampoo too large). For best results, divide the swatch by cutting with scissors instead of tearing. When you tear the swatch, the fibers become compressed and the swatch will not dissolve as well.

EC30 works to ensure that our products do no harm on nature trails. As required by law, the surfactants in our shampoos, conditioners, and hand/body washes are biodegradable when disposed into wastewater treatment systems, i.e. septic tanks and activated sludge plants. The cleaning agents in almost every personal cleaning product on the US market will eventually breakdown in natural waters, but there are important things to consider when backpacking. EC30 products will dissolve readily and eventually breakdown in the natural settings with these qualifiers: If you are bathing in a fast running stream or large eutrophic lake (murky water), there will be lots of water to dilute the ingredients and diverse colonies of microorganisms that could break them down. EC30's environmental scientists do not recommend using any soaps if you are washing in a small oligotrophic bog (one example). Although such a setting looks appealing to bathe, just use water if you’re in a small pond with very clear water as it would have few microorganisms and not much water in a contained system. You are unlikely to cause toxicity to aquatic life during one washing, but if 10 people did that in an enclosed space several times over a few weeks, the ingredients could build up. Also, because EC30 absorbs water and dissolves quickly, re-pack it in a re-useable, moisture protective bag when hiking.

The EC30 ingredients have been assessed and are safe for the environment. (Forests, Water, Crops, etc.) For us in EC30, the safety of our consumers and their world is at the heart of what we do. We follow a rigorous 4-step science-based safety process before our EC30 products reach our consumers and their families. This process is the same used by regulatory agencies such as US FDA, EPA, the EU, the WHO and others.
