For those new to this website:

Tamara Rubin is a multiple-federal-award-winning independent advocate for childhood Lead poisoning prevention and consumer goods safety, and a documentary filmmaker. She is also a mother of Lead-poisoned children (two of her sons were acutely Lead-poisoned in 2005). Since 2009, Tamara has been using XRF technology (a scientific method used by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) to test consumer goods for toxicants (specifically heavy metals — including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Antimony, and Arsenic). Tamara’s work was featured in Consumer Reports Magazine in February 2023 (March 2023 print edition).

When tested with an XRF instrument, the Saje Natural Wellness Liquid Sunshine Cheerful Diffuser Blend BOTTLE (not the contents) had the following readings:

Outside of brown glass bottle — with white text:
60-seconds

• Lead (Pb): 21 +/- 7 ppm
• Barium (Ba): 3,191 +/- 72 ppm
• Zinc (Zn): 24 +/- 10 ppm
• Iron (Fe): 2,173 +/- 139 ppm
• Vanadium (V): 1,370 +/- 182 ppm
• Titanium (Ti): 22,000 +/- 700 ppm
• No other metals were detected.

Note: Because Lead was found on the outside surface of the bottle with the white text AND because the part of the brown glass bottle with no text (test result below) was negative for Lead, it is safe to assume the painted markings on this bottle have trace Lead (specifically that the Lead is likely in the paint and that the bottle is likely Lead-free).

Outside of brown glass bottle — bottom/ with no text:
60-seconds

• Barium (Ba): 3,554 +/- 116 ppm
• Iron (Fe): 2,295 +/- 212 ppm
• Vanadium (V): 1,515 +/- 186 ppm
• Titanium (Ti): 3,297 +/- 322 ppm

The bottle’s plastic lid:
60-seconds

• Barium (Ba): 264 +/- 27 ppm
• Bromine (Br): 16 +/- 3 ppm
• Palladium (Pd): 11 +/- 3 ppm
• Platinium (Pt): 134 +/- 31 ppm
• Copper (Cu): 72 +/- 25 ppm
• Indium (In): 36 +/- 6 ppm
• Titanium (Ti): 422 +/- 181 ppm

As always, thank you for reading and sharing this work. I will likely update this piece soon with more information, however in the meantime, please check out the following links if you have questions:

1. The testing methodology behind all test results we report on this website.
2. A video showing you how to search the site most efficiently, given there are over 2,700 articles and pages here.
3. Here’s my documentary feature film about childhood Lead poisoning.

Please let me know if you have any questions. With 1.165 Million unique readers in 2020 alone, I am not always able to answer each and every question personally, but I do try.
