HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE
In the event of fire/incomplete combustion this product can generate oxides of carbon and other toxic gases. A fire will often produce a thick black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may be hazardous to health. Do not breathe in smoke. Combustion gases of organic materials must in principle be graded as inhalation poisons. Combustion produces caustic fumes. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.

ADVICE FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Wear self-contained respiratory equipment and appropriate protective clothing at all times. Do not inhale any gases or fumes which may be generated. Containers in close proximity to fire should be removed to a safe distance and the exterior of the container cooled with water. Dike and collect water used to fight fire. Keep people away from and upwind of fire.

 

Section 6: Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Wear protective clothing as recommended at all times. Handle the product using protective gloves resistant to the chemicals exposed. Avoid contact with skin and inhalation of its vapours. Maintain adequate ventilation in the working area after spilling.
ENVIROMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Prevent further leakage or spillage. Do not allow the product to enter drains or sewers, water course or the ground. Do not allow the product to enter the environment.
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP THIS PRODUCT
Stop the flow of material, if possible. Dike spilled material, where this is possible. Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. If liquid has been spilt in large quantities clean up promptly by scoop or vacuum. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

Section 16: Other information

GMO Declaration

We declare that at present all our regisered and commercially available ingredients, extracts, oils, plants and skincare products are derived by traditional plant breeding methods. We do not have any ingredient, extract, oil or skincare product from genetically modified material

To the best of our knowledge, the information contained in the sheet is correct. However, we cannot accept responsibility for any consequences from its use.

Animal Testing Declaration

UK: As set out under the conditions in Schedule 34 - Amendment of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and related amendments of The Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 neither the cosmetic nor its component product has been tested on animal purposes

EU:As set out in under the conditions in 1223/2009. Art. 15 Nar. Parliament and the Council of the EU 952/2013 neither the cosmetic nor its component product has been tested on animal purposes

WE DO NOT TEST ANY OF OUR PRODUCTS ON ANIMALS AND NEVER HAVE, WE PREFER TO RELY ON OUR KNOWLEDGE OF ESSENTIAL OILS, INGREDIENTS, PLANTS, FLOWERS AND ESTABLISHED TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND PROFESSIONALS TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE AND SAFE PRODUCTS.

We believe there is already a “safe” and known group of product ingredients used in the cosmetics industry which leave enough scope to be creative and innovative in product formulation without the need for anymore animal testing on new experimental ingredients.

Our suppliers each also agree to not to carry out animal testing on the products and ingredients we purchase. We have a self-imposed cut-off date of 2006 (this was the date our cosmetic formulations came into being) although in reality our suppliers normally have animal testing dates far in excess of this or have never tested at all.

We do not conduct any form of animal testing.

We do not commission any form of animal testing from a third party.

We operate a fixed cut-off date for animal testing and ingedients, which means we will not use any ingredient that has been tested or retested on animals for cosmetics purposes since January 1, 2006

If we find that a company is involved in animal testing in anyway that purchases from us, then we will cease supply immediately. It is a term and condition that by purchasing from Naturallythinking you will not involve yourself or your company in any form of Animal Testing, any violation of this will be dealt with as per any violation of our terms and condtions
