How to Avoid Phthalates:

Beauty companies are not required to list ingredients, so you are not likely to see phthalates, a plastic softener linked to cancer, on labels. Avoid products that list "fragrance," which often contains phthalates; look for essential oils instead.

Why It's Good:

A quality paint job starts with primer—this one won't overwhelm you with fumes before you've even had a chance to begin.

Why It's Green:

Breathe easy: This primer contains low VOCs (volatile organic compounds), those stinky fumes that give you headaches, help deplete the ozone layer, and cause indoor air pollution. The company has eco-friendly manufacturing and waste-reduction practices, including reusing water and solvent liquid wastes; recycling paper packaging, tinplated steel cans, and wooden pallets; using recycled paper for printed materials; and reprocessing unused paint.
