Formaldehyde and 1,4 dioxane are two common toxic chemicals contaminating baby products and adult personal care. Formaldehyde is used in many industries, and is one source of ground water and air pollutants. Studies by IARC and WHO (World Health Organization) shown that formaldehyde can cause nasal sinus cancer and possibly leukemia. 1,4 dioxane is released through ethyloxilation process to make a gentler sodium laureth sulfate as a foaming agent in shampoos, detergents and tootpastes. IARC (International Agency or Research on Cancer) studies shown that continuous exposure of this chemical causes damage to the central nervous system, liver and kidneys.
