Carcinogens Found in Kid's Bath Products
Avoiding controversial chemicals at the supermarket could be a daunting task, the report says. None of the baby bath products tested in the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics' new report list formldehyde and 1,4-dioxane on their labels, since they're formed as manufacturing byproducts and aren't added intentionally.
The group says consumers can look out for ingredients that are likely to contain either of the chemicals, though, including: peg-100 stearate, sodium laureth sulfate, polyethylene and ceteareth-20, quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea and sodium hydroxymethoylglycinate.
I think this is the one time I'm glad my daughter has such sensitive skin. Gross. Makes you wonder what's in everything else.
the biggest names are the worst offenders-- Johnson's and Johnson's, Procter and Gamble products, etc.... everything, even diapers. this is all planned-- put carcinogens in everything, cancer rates go up, biomedicine makes lots of $$$$. not a coincidence. cancer is an industry folks
