INGREDIENTS TO AVOID LIST #8

INGREDIENTS THAT HAVE "-eth” like ceteareth, triceteareth, sodium myreth sulfate, polyethylene, oleth, etc. They can carry the carcinogenic contaminant 1,4 dioxane. "The federal Consumer Product SafetyCommission states that “the presence of 1,4-dioxane, even as a trace contaminant, is cause for concern."

From Women's Voices for the Earth - - "17 out of 28 products tested (61%) contained both 1,4 dioxane and formaldehyde.
  • Popular products that contained both contaminants include: Johnson’s Baby Shampoo, Sesame Street Bubble Bath, Grins & Giggles Milk & Honey Baby Wash and Huggies Naturally Refreshing Cucumber & Green Tea Baby Wash."
  • Several samples of American Girl shower products were found to contain the highest levels of 1,4-dioxane found in the tests
