Tell Summer’s Eve: Toxic Chemicals and Body Shaming are NEVER OK!

Summer’s Eve is marketed to make people feel vaginas are dirty and in need of cleansing. But their idea of “clean” involves a splash of toxic chemicals. And now they are marketing a “fragrance-free” product that is chock-full of fragrance chemicals!

Taking care of your body - however you choose - should never put your health at risk. Contact Summer's Eve now and tell them toxic chemicals, hidden ingredients, and body-shaming are never OK!

Here’s a simple script you can use when calling Summer's Eve:

“Hello. My name is ______, and I am concerned about harmful chemicals and hidden ingredients in Summer’s Eve products. I am calling to ask Summer's Eve to eliminate chemicals of concern to health, and to disclose all ingredients, and stop misleading people by labeling products "fragrance-free" when they in fact contain fragrance ingredients. Chemicals linked to cancer and other serious health problems DO NOT belong in products that come in contact with those most sensitive part of a body.”

Remove hidden toxics from Summer Eve!

Dear Mr. Lombardi,

I am concerned about the use of harmful chemicals and hidden ingredients in Summer’s Eve products.  I am concerned about the misleading marketing of a “fragrance-free” product that actually contains numerous fragrance chemicals. These products—many of which are marketed as necessary to promote good health and even increase sex appeal—are used on the most sensitive and absorptive skin on a body.

As the makers of Summer’s Eve, I am calling on Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. to protect health by disclosing all ingredients used in Summer’s Eve products and eliminating harmful ones.
  
One chemical of particular concern is Octoxynol-9. This chemical is a potent contraceptive drug that effectively kills sperm. However, Summer’s Eve products containing octoxynol-9 do not have any caution labeling to their potential effect on a woman’s fertility.

Summer’s Eve feminine wipes are fragranced, yet companies like yours are allowed to keep fragrance ingredients a secret from consumers. Chemicals that make up fragrance can include carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, reproductive toxicants, and allergens. Without full disclosure, I do not have the information I need to protect myself from harmful chemicals. That’s why I ask your company to do the following:

1. Please disclose all ingredients, in all of your Summer’s Eve products, and highlight any fragrance allergens in those products.

2. Please eliminate the use of chemicals and the presence of expected contaminants linked to cancer, infertility and other serious health problems from all of your personal care products.

Please take seriously the health of your customers who use these products. Toxic chemicals don’t belong in intimate care products. Period.
 
Sincerely,

Regards, Your Name
