We have been given some information regarding a certain toxic chemical that can be found in everyday personal care products called DIOXANE and we just wanted to share this with you:
DIOXANE
An assessment carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency has reported findings that the solvent 1,4 dioxane, is showing significantly greater cancer risks, which in turn may actually give environmentalists a better chance now when going head to head with some of the manufacturers that choose to use this ingredients in the manufacturing of their products.
This latest assessment shows dioxane us 17 times more potent than they actually first thought and it has become a major concern because they are finding it in amongst children’s products.
If you have any concerns you may visit our link below and with the help of “The Safety For Cosmetics” , these are the guys who have sponsored testing on hundreds of shampoos, soaps, bubble baths and lotions and other items and over the past 3 years have come up with their findings and published them on their site.
Its definately well worth a look at and its like everything in life, if we can only just reduce our intake of these nasty chemcials, we will be all the better for it in the long run!
Until next time
