A new report just released confirms the presence of carcinogenic chemicals in popular baby bath products. These chemicals have caused cancer in animals and in humans!
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics tested 48 top-selling children's products for 1,4-dioxane and 28 of them for formaldehyde.
Formaledehyde is used for embalming corpses and as glue in chipboard.
The 1,4-dioxane chemical is used as a foaming agent in bath products.
According to the US National Cancer Institute, studies of workers exposed to formaldehyde have linked the chemical to cancers of the nasal sinuses, nasopharynx, brain and possibly leukemia.
Among the products that had one or more of these chemicals in their ingredients were:
Johnson's Baby Shampoo
L'Oreal Kids Extra Gentle 2-in-1 shampoo
Pampers Kandoo foaming hand soap.
According to the US National Cancer Institute, studies of workers exposed to formaldehyde have linked the chemical to cancers of the nasal sinuses, nasopharynx, brain and possibly leukemia.

Is there a possible link between shampooing infants' heads with these products and the dramatic, unexplained spike in the numbers of children diagnosed with autism?
We know autism is a disorder of the brain, but experts have not been able to fully explain how this happens and why so many children have been diagnosed with this disorder in the past 30 years.
This new study may start to raise questions about this possible link between the use of these products on infants' heads (where the fontanel only forms a thick skin over the top of an infant's head, leaving them vulnerable to environmental hazards) and the staggering rise in the number of children diagnosed with autism and other brain-related disorders.
What is your opinion?
