You're not gonna eat the stuff, right? There are many copycats out there that would try to duplicate the product and make a profit off a anothers idea. Anyone hear of Wal-mart, Walgreens, Randalls, or any of the numerous companies that produce generic (cheaper) copycats of an original product?

I try to not purchase products with unknown ingredients so I guess I will not be buying this.Bummer. I saw this product in the store and could not find ingredients on the label.

Truthfully, I think the Holy Cow advertising is a bit shady...That's my opinion. I wouldn't encourage anyone to purchase it and being a Vermont resident and attempting to support local business, my loyalty is towards Seventh Generation. It also works and I feel confident using it around my child as I can read what all ingredients are and their company is accessible and forthcoming with inquiries. I do prefer to know both sides or at least the opinions of those involved in a debate. In most instances, the truth is found somewhere in between. On this one, the scales are tipped a little. I won't be purchasing Holy Cow without a complete list of ingredients. Being cautious as an argument is a load of bull...Represent your products honestly and transparently...

That's the purpose of this site - to encourage people to buy ACTUAL green products and not fake ones. Why buy something that is trying to fool you into thinking it is something that it's not, when companies out there make real products that are actually green? Sorry, that's a poor argument.
