I have been using Melaleuca products of 6 months, but I have only been a preferred member of a month.
Melaleuca uses bad chemicals in some of their products. It is a chemical called Cationic Surfactant it has been linked to Kawasaki syndrome this is a disease that affects small children. Some of the long-term side effects are coronary artery dilatations and aneurysms. Kawasaki syndrome is a leading cause of acquired heart disease in the United States.
As soon as I found this out I called Melaleuca The Wellness Company. I told the lady I was looking for a specific chemical it is called Cationic Surfactant. Do you use it? She said YES. I asked what is it in? She told me it is in their tough and tender and their Mela power. I explained that the reason I was asking was I found out it has been linked to Kawasaki syndrome. She told me she knew. I asked her if it was in any other products. She very rudely asked me like what. I said I don't know any other product. She said no and hung up.
Melaleuca does not warn you of these chemicals and you cannot read them on their products. They know it is in there yet they don't let us know.
Their motto is the Wellness Company. I do not feel that using this chemical is promoting wellness. They also use dye in most of their products. Since my children are allergic to red dye there are many products we cannot use.
I guess my big complaint is they do not list their ingredients on their products. So we as consumers have to trust that they know what is best for our families.
