There is some controversy floating around now that baby shampoo is poisoning our infants. There are a lot of consumer advocates out there who are urging the public to boycott Johnson & Johnson for selling baby shampoo that has cancer causing agents in them. Johnson & Johnson is still selling these products even though they have been PULLED, yes pulled, from shelves in other countries!
What parents need to know:
DIOXANE, is "a likely carcinogen" that is "a byproduct of a process for making chemicals more soluble and gentler on the skin".
QUATERNIUM-15: is a preservative which releases formaldehyde to kill bacteria.
Apparently formaldehyde has been declared a known human carcinogen this year. Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo still carries trace mounts of these carcinogens even though this company offers other versions of these products without the chemicals in them. They say the trace amount is minuscule but why risk it? Babies are more vulnerable to exposure than adults.
I say ditch the carcinogens or find new consumers. You can bet your butts that I will not be using Johnson & Johnson products anymore. The company says that they are reducing the levels below detectable amounts. It also says that formaldehyde-releasing preservatives are safe and have been approved by regulators in the U.S.
I'm sorry but they need to completely eliminate this chemicals. Whats ok for you today could kill you tomorrow.
What are your thoughts on this?
