Totally green means low hazard. The only thing you have to watch out for with these companies, is whether they use any preservatives in their formulas. If they sell their products in stores, they need to have preservatives of some kind in them if they are sitting on shelves for any time before you buy them, or you could end up with a moldy or contaminated product.
Some people use essential oils as preservatives, even though essential oils are NOT really preservatives, unless you put so much in that they can become a hazard in themselves. Essential oils can be irritating to the skin if the concentration is too high.
Anti-oxidants can protect oils from going rancid, but if you are buying a product that contains water, it is going to need more than anti oxidants and essential oils to preserve it. So read the labels, and make your own judgment. And remember, if you can’t pronounce it, don’t put it on your skin!
