PEG's - Ingredients to Avoid #6

INGREDIENTS TO AVOID #6 - PEG’s - (polyethylene glycol) - petroleum byproduct. 

PEG Compounds and their contaminants

"PEGs may be contaminated with measurable amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane from the manufacturing process. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies ethylene oxide as a known human carcinogen and 1,4-dioxane as a possible human carcinogen. Ethylene oxide can also harm the nervous system and the California EPA has classified it as a developmental toxicant based on evidence that it may interfere with human development. 1,4-dioxane is also persistent. In other words, it doesn't easily degrade and can remain in the environment long after it is rinsed down the shower drain. 1,4-dioxane can be removed from cosmetics during the manufacturing process by vacuum stripping, but there is no easy way for consumers to know whether products containing PEGs have undergone this process. In a study of personal care products marketed as "natural" or "organic", U.S. researchers found 1,4-dioxane as a contaminant in 46 of 100 products analyzed."
