Ingredients
Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, PEG-150 Distearate, Fragrance, Polyquaternium-10, Tetrasodium EDTA, Quaternium-15, Citric Acid, Yellow 10 and Orange 4.

Quaternium-15 is a preservative found in many cosmetics and industrial substances that releases formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is one of the largest indoor pollutants in our homes. . It is a recognized carcinogen, an immunotoxin, a reproductive toxicant, and a neurotoxin that can cause CNS & neurological disorders. It is a common ingredient found in many products in your home such as air fresheners, rug cleaners, bubble bath, perfume, liquid scouring cleansers, toilet bowl cleaners, floor finishes, pressed board furniture, toothpaste, hair spray, soap, floor wax and furniture polish to name a few, but worst of all baby shampoo! Unless removed it literally envelops you.

Formaldehyde is stored in fat cells in our bodies. Morticians now need 60% less formaldehyde to preserve a body than in the past because the human body today stores so much of it from long term exposure.

Symptoms caused by formaldehyde include allergies, cancer, asthma and cold like symptoms from immediate exposure.

There ARE alternatives! I've already switched ... YOU can too!

Unfortunately, its in MOST Baby and Household Products. I can help you switch over, and for less than you spend now. I DO NOT SELL products, but will help you get yours where I found mine - They have non toxic cleaners and everything!

Click the Link in my original post and fill out the form - I'll get back to you within 24-48 hours :)
