What is "Kozgro"? |
| A |
The name Kozgro is derived from "Because Grow" (Because We want to grow up)". It was abbreviated from "Cause Gro" to "Kozgro".and this became our company name. We believe this name has meaning to grow our company, our employee, our hopes and dream". However, contrary to our dream, the natural environment that surrounds us keep deteriorating at a rapid rate.
The meaning 'Kozgro' would apply to the Kozgro company that will bear in mind the various research, development, manufacturing of the Kozgro products with the effects of it on both human and body and the environment. These include the following Kozgro products (baby bath, shampoo, body wash soap and using for kitchen, washing, industrial, pet, facial cleansing and 8 types for dish washer). We strongly hope users will be able to enjoy the use of our Kozgro products that holds patents in 9 different countries of the world.

| Q4 |
Were there any animal experiments conducted in developing any of the products?
Are any of the raw material used tested on animals?
|
| A |
Raw material making up of Kozgro product are found in daily food and health
foods which already showcase the safey of our product. Therefore, it's
not necessary to conduct any animal experiments. Only the alkyl glycoside
of the foaming agent (product including the surfactant equivalency of 0.8%)
does no't correspond to the above-mentioned list of natural ingredient
but we have chosen foaming agents that are also used in medicinal products.
Since all products used can be edible as well, we do not feel it is necessary
to even mention that animal experiments were conducted. |

According to a report by a certain university, gAn experiment conducted
using sodium sulfide to contact directly to parts of animals (excluding
the eyes), the result show irritation to the eyes and the chemical has
penetrated the skin becoming cancerous in every major organs suh as the
brain, heart, kidneys, and lungs by travelling through the bloodstreams.
There is fear that in human beings, this can result in delaying of wounds
to heal and disturb hair growth and in some cases hinder eye vision in
a child.How about the sodium sulfide included in the Kozgro product? |
| A |
We do not know the reliability of such report but there are various reports
found at a university. However sodium sulfate itself is accepted as a food
additive globally, and it is evaluated that there is no harmful influence
to the human body. If the content of this report were true, majority of
the hotsprings that include sodium sulfate will be banned and closed down.
At this stage in time, as long as the use of the sulfate as food additive
is not declared harmful, we do not believe it is relevant to address to
the report of that university. |

Yakushi Chemicals Co., Ltd , Nippon Chemical Industrial Co., Ltd, Shikoku
Chemicals and 3 other companies are named as the main supplier of your
company. Will raw materials be all chemicals? |
| A |
To ensure high quality and maintaining such quality of our Kozgro products,
we also receive raw materials from these companies as well. Ingredients
provided are 'as is' and for example we include salt that is chemically
refined and mass produced from seawater. Whether this kind of raw material
are to be judged as a 'chemical' is dependant on the person using them.

This is gIt is safety cleaner that it begins being the domestic and the
world with epoch-making. Itfs made up and manufactured from kind of material
such as meat showdown medicine, dairy products stabilizer, and the food
additives of the noodle product etc. (inorganic medicine)h. Cause, I worry
about the food additives such as the conclusion medicines and the dairy
products stabilizers additionally various harmful carcinogenicity. So I
choose food product that doesnft use the synthesis and the chemical additive.
What kind of the raw material of dairy products stabilizer which use in
Kozgro? I worry about whether oil etc. are used the raw material or not.
I donft want to take the dangerous for the skin. |
| A |
About the additive is as following. Almost of Kozgrofs element is element
that exists in the natural world. Itfs used as the additive when makes
the food product such as meat showdown medicine, dairy products stabilizer,
and the food additives of the noodle product etc. The artificial product
is CMC (Carboxy methyl cellulose). Because there is not quantitatively
much and used for food. I think it is ensured with the best security and
use it. However, we want to tell to users who worry about the additive
and can be understood clearly. I think that it can not ensure the safety
of a level to classify into a mouth in other detergents and cleaning agents,
etc. The element of soap is not admitted in the food additive, and the
remaining of 0.1% caustic soda is admitted for the element called non-addition
soap (JIS standard). In such a meaning, we think that Kozgro product is
guaranteed with the best safety. |

Isn't there a product which is usable for all aspects of life (body washing,
washing, and tableware washing) by one? |
| A |
Sorry, it doesn't exist today. The reason is that the dirt and the level
of dirt are different in a usage. Because the washing power might be too
strong and no foaming in, so it's not easy to use. The easiness to use
becomes the sales point in general use, which is the present concept in
our production. |

becomes the sales point in I found about information of sodium phosphate
by internet. It shows that "Cause of river and lake eutrophication"
and it is almost "no Sodium phosphate" in the maker of synthetic
deterge.How do you think this of the sodium phosphate is used in your company?
Because it is being written on most sites assuming that it is bad for the
environment. So I would like to hear your opinion.general use, which is
the present concept in our production. |
| A |
About question of sodium phosphate. We would like you to know fist that
sodium phosphate in itself is the ingredient which essential for the creature
and itfs not a toxic element. It is the ingredient which it is included
in to a body of a creature by all means. Therefore, because soap can be
done with oils and fats of the animals and the plant, and phosphorus is
included a little in it. The animal on the earth undertakes all favors
of the plant and is alive. In agriculture, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium
are used as a three major element of the plant fertilizer, both the human
being and the animal (a stock raising animal) are kept alive with the farm
products. And as a result of taking it, body wastes become a problem. The
amount of the exhaust of phosphorus by man, and there is the exhaust about
10% from the grass dies and he nature such as trees. It is time when it
was enacted for the Biwako ordinance to which the problem of phosphorus
is closed up in Japan, it is bright, and having abounded the one to Biwako
of the amount of the exhaust by man. In the material that Shiga Prefecture
is announcing, it is memorized that it was the certainty 18.7%. The exhaust
with a detergent at that time is 18.2%. At that time, almost the home uses
synthetic detergent, Besides, consumption of phosphates per washing once
is 12g in the situation. Though phosphorus certainly thinks 0 to be an
idealThe amount of the hit is 1/40 or less of the phosphorus, Kozgro compared
with the amount of the phosphorus used at that time. In the figure that
doesn't come up to 1% even if everyone uses Kozgro at that time, if thinking
about 10% has been exhausted from nature. It is thought that it is a tolerance
even if not the highest. Moreover, it thinks an important thing to be from
the "Phosphorus" besides now. Many people use every day, the
mixture use is being done by the detergent and the toothpaste powder, etc.
for the shampoo body soap, the detergent for kitchen, and washing, and
it is thought that it is a surface-active agent, a fluorescent bleach it,
an emulsifying agent it, preservative, and a changing in quality prevention
medicine antioxidant, etc. It gives a lot of evils we to alive things,
and has averaged the warning to the continued existence of a species. Nitrogen
increases too much in the Inland Sea compared with phosphorus, and there
is a fact that becomes an environment where the phytoplankton with strong
toxicity is generated easily, too. The Inland Sea seems to become the sterile
sea not eutrophication. Everything is thought that the balance is important.
I think that it can understand the idea that it is a tolerance though it
is not the highest if there are a lot of exhausts compared with the environment. |

How long Kozgro product can be preserved by unopened? Moreover, will the
unopened product be refrigeration necessary for preservation in the summer
time? |
| A |
Basically it doesn't change because the elements are inorganic. However,
make 3 years the standard in preservation when it is unopened. It is not
necessary to refrigerate even in the summer time. However, make 3 months
the standard in preservation when it is opened. |

| Q12 |
Is there any influences in the dirt of bathroom ceramics and the outlet
after using Kozgro product? |
| A |
The dirt of tile and the outlet are mainly the breeding bacteria of mold, and the nutrient of mold is an organism such as oil system surface-active agentsoils, fats of flora and fauna. But the raw material of Kozgro has the character and the influence made neither the tile nor the outlet not becoming, dirty. It can be said that the cleaning time of the bathroom greatly decreases, which is also the feature of Kozgro product.
But there is a product of usage of 0.8-0.4% surface-active agent .
