"Earth Day Starts at Home" on Facebook Live

CYPRESS, Calif., April 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

WHAT:
In celebration of Earth Month, Earth Friendly Products®, the maker of ECOS™ laundry detergent and over 200 environmentally friendly home cleaners, presents "Earth Day Starts at Home" on FB Live.

The first presentation educates about the fact that our skin absorbs things faster than anything we put into our mouth.

Enterprising sixth grade kid-preneur Aria Kiousis makes and sells slime to her other slime-loving friends between attending classes in Southern California. After the young businesswoman was exposed to a green chemistry class that came to her school, she learned that anything she touches with her hands needs to be non-toxic. As such, she sourced ingredients for her slime that passed the green chemistry test.

Jenna Arkin, Vice President of Innovation and Green Chemist for Earth Friendly Products, will give a simple explanation of how the skin absorbs and what kinds of chemicals are healthy.

ARIA'S SLIME RECIPE

1 tablespoon ECOS Dishmate (Grapefruit scent is her favorite)
½ cup non-toxic school glue
2 ½ teaspoons contact lens solution
1 teaspoon baking soda

WHO:

• Aria Kiousis, Kid-Preneur, 6^th grader at Oak Middle School in Los Alamitos, California who focuses on getting top grades and makes and sells slime for a living.
• Jenna Arkin: VP of Innovation & Green Chemist, Earth Friendly Products
