Johnson & Johnson admits: Our baby products contain cancer-causing formaldehyde

No more tears? I would rather have no more formaldehyde. I just might get my wish.


 Today, the personal care giant announced that it would voluntarily (after consistent pressure from the public and groups like EWG) remove hidden formaldehyde from their baby products like baby shampoo and baby washes.

Don’t see formaldehyde listed on the back of your bottle of “no more tears” shampoo? Formaldehyde is “hidden” in these products in ingredient names like “DMDM hydantoin“, and “1,4 dioxane” (which is “hidden” in listed ingredients like “fragrance”. It’s all a big fun game, you see.) 

Makes you wonder what's in most of the cosmetics you use?  Buy ethical products and you'll be worry free!
