Proposition 65

The State of California’s Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, became law in November 1986. Effective August 30, 2018, Proposition 65 will have updated labeling requirements for businesses to notify consumers with “clear and reasonable” warnings of potentially hazardous chemicals present in products.

Warning labels are required on all products that may contain chemicals found on the state’s list of over 850 compounds, and must specify that the product may contain chemicals “known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.”

ENP Ventures (Trulean™) has reviewed the complete product line for compliance with the Proposition 65 directive. ENP Ventures (Trulean™) products are subject to the Proposition 65 regulation labeling requirements and bear the following warning label:

For California Residents
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the state of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

What is the Prop 65 warning?

California’s Prop 65 requires a warning label if a product may expose consumers to any of over 850 compounds. Many occur naturally in foods from the earth, like fruits, vegetables, and herbs. It doesn’t mean the product is unsafe. Everyday Wellness™ is consistently tested for accuracy, heavy metals, microplastics, contaminants, allergens, and compliance.

These warnings are provided pursuant to a California labeling law called Proposition 65 (or Prop 65 for short), which is meant to notify individuals in California of potential exposures to Prop 65-listed chemicals.

While selling products that contain any of the listed chemicals is not prohibited, any company that does business in California is required to notify consumers if any of their products may contain a chemical that is listed on the Prop 65 list.

Why is this warning applied to ENP Ventures (Trulean™) products?

At ENP Ventures (Trulean™), we take special care to ensure that we follow all relevant regulations applicable to the places our product is purchased and used. For that reason, where appropriate, we label items sold to customers and retailers in the State of California with Prop 65 warnings to ensure compliance.

We are dedicated to continuing to be a transparent company that you can trust to always provide the highest quality and safest products we can.

What types of chemicals and products are on the Prop 65 list?

There are over 850 chemicals on the Prop 65 list, which is updated at least once every year. Any chemicals that are regarded as reproductive toxicants or carcinogens are included on this list, even though some of these chemicals are often found in nature and are not intentionally added to products.

For example: Anything that comes from the ground, including fruits, vegetables, and even drinking water, is likely to contain some heavy metals.

How does Prop 65 compare to federal limits and the FDA?

Prop 65 warnings are required at levels that are more rigid than federal regulations. This means, all ENP Ventures (Trulean™) products are held to higher standards and regulations.

FDA / Prop 65 example

• The FDA maximum daily intake for lead is 12.5 micrograms.
• The Prop 65 maximum daily intake for lead is 0.5 micrograms.

Does Trulean™ 3rd party test Everyday Wellness™?

Yes. Everyday Wellness™ is consistently 3rd party tested for accuracy, heavy metals, microplastics, contaminants, allergens, and compliance.
