tallow
Animal fat (Tallow) – a type of animal tissue made up of oily solids or semi-solids that are water-insoluble esters (compound formed from an alcohol and an acid) of glycerol with fatty acids. Tallow is white and usually hard in consistency. Animal fats and lye, the chief ingredients in bar soap, are cleaning and emulsifying products. Tallow may also be used in shaving creams, lipsticks, shampoos, and soaps.
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is an elastomer that is fully thermoplastic. Like all thermoplastic elastomers, TPU is elastic and melt-processable. Further, it can be processed on extrusion as well as injection, blow and compression molding equipment. It can be vacuum-formed or solution-coated and is well suited for a wide variety of fabrication methodologies. But more so than any other thermoplastic elastomer, TPU can provide a considerable number of physical property combinations making it an extremely flexible material adaptable to dozens of uses. Polyurethanes can make a major contribution to energy efficiency in the construction, appliance and transportation sectors.

toxins
Most toxic substances or "toxins" are substances formed and excreted by microorganisms (such as bacteria and virus), plants and animals and are poisonous to humans.
triethanolamine
Triethanolamine, (also known as TEA, diethanolamine, DEA, monoethanolamine, and MEA), is found in many household cleaning and personal care products. It is a severe eye irritant, and a moderate skin irritant. It can react with nitrites to form nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic.
trihalomethanes
Trihalomethanes (THMs) are carcinogenic compounds found in some chlorinated water supplies. They can be removed from tap water with activated carbon filters.
