A new report by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics discusses toxic contaminants in children’s bath and personal care products.<\/p>\n

“Despite marketing claims like ‘gentle’ and ‘pure,’ dozens of top-selling children\u2019s bath products are contaminated with the cancer-causing chemicals <\/em>formaldehyde<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>1,4-dioxane<\/em><\/a>, according to the March 2009 Campaign for Safe Cosmetics report, ‘<\/em>No More Toxic Tub<\/em><\/a>.<\/em>‘”<\/p>\n

“The chemicals were not disclosed on product labels because they’re contaminants, not ingredients, and therefore are exempt from labeling laws.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Formaldehyde contaminates personal care products when common preservatives release formaldehyde over time in the container. <\/em><\/a>Common ingredients likely to contaminate products with formaldehyde include quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea and diazolidinyl urea.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

1,4-dioxane is a byproduct of a chemical processing technique called ethoxylation, in which cosmetic ingredients are processed with ethylene oxide. <\/em>Manufacturers can easily remove the toxic byproduct<\/em><\/a>, but are not required by law to do so. Common ingredients likely to be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane include PEG-100 stearate, sodium laureth sulfate, polyethylene and ceteareth-20<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
