![]() Now, I already own a jade roller so I will probably end up giving this away. The first item I received was this Metamorphic Jade Roller. I noticed that the material is a little scratchy, but that might be because all filler ingredients are cut out.Īll right, let’s see what else was in my box! The Try Something New bundle lets you get two surprise items in each box. However I used an eyedropper filled with water on one, and it seems to be pretty absorbent. I’ve read several shocking studies detailing nasty chemicals found in top brands of pads – for example, trace amounts of chloroform is found in Always pads! Now, that might not necessarily cause any health problems, but it still makes me uncomfortable.ĭue to my irregular periods (sometimes I’ll have one period every three months, other times I’ll bleed for a month straight), I haven’t gotten a chance to test these out. ![]() For years, I have just bought whichever brand of pads is cheapest at the store, but lately I’ve been more concerned about the quality of what I put down there. My pad bundle contained 16 pads made from 100% organic cotton, and produced through cruelty-free and vegan means. Everything had attractive, minimalist packaging. I received a package of pads, as well as two surprise items from the Try Something New bundle. There wasn’t any packing material in my box, but all of my items arrived in perfect condition. There is no indication on the outside of the box that it contains period products. It arrived in a sturdy pale pink box, with the Blume logo on top. Today I will be reviewing the Blume box I received in September. I received the pads base box, plus the Try Something New bundle. There are also beauty and skincare add-ons you can order with your box, for an additional cost. You can then add on extra packs of tampons or pads, starting at $3 for an 8 pack. You will receive a total of 16 sanitary items. The safety of these mineral oil-containing products is thus indirectly documented by their prevalent and long-term use, with a simultaneous lack of clinical and epidemiological evidence for adverse health effects.ĬLP Mineral oil REACH accumulation aromatic hydrocarbons carcinogenicity consumer safety cosmetics food granuloma liver lymph nodes pharmaceuticals saturated hydrocarbons spleen.Formerly known as Ellebox, Blume is a monthly period subscription box that makes your time of the month a little more enjoyable, delivering the period necessities to make sure you’re all covered.Ī base box costs $10.99 per month, and contains pads, tampons, or a mix of both depending on your preferences. Such products are used not only in cosmetics but also in medicinal products and as additives in food contact materials. With respect to MOAH, at present there is no indication of any carcinogenic effects in animals dermally or orally exposed to highly refined mineral oils and waxes. Evidence from more recent autopsy and biopsy studies, along with information on decreasing food contamination levels, indicates a low risk for adverse hepatic lesions that may arise from the retention of MOSH in the liver. ![]() ![]() Also addressed are the challenges in characterizing the substance identity of mineral oil products under REACH. ![]() The use and occurrence of consumer-relevant, highly refined mineral oils in food, cosmetics and medicinal products are summarized, and estimates for the exposure of consumers are provided. It also covers the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of MOSH and MOAH upon oral and dermal exposures. This paper aims at assessing the bioaccumulative potential and associated histopathological effects of MOSH as well as the carcinogenic potential of MOAH for consumer-relevant mineral oils. Analytically, two fractions can be distinguished: mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH). For a few years, mineral oils and their potential adverse health effects have been a constant issue of concern in many regulatory areas such as food, cosmetics, other consumer products, and industrial chemicals. ![]()
