JOHNSON & JOHNSON PRODUCTS--WARNING!!!!!!

A study was just done stating the Johnson & Johnson products contains formaldihide and many cancer causing agents!! Johnson & Johnson actually admitted that their products had cancer causing agents in them... I exchanged all the shampoo and body wash and lotion and diaper rash cream for something else organic.. Thought I'd let u ladies know :)

Pretty much every product people put into their bodies causes cancer. Example. Open your eyes and look up what the dyes in your food do. Like red 40. The blues and yellows and greens and violets. The govt knows what their doing

Everything we use is harmful though. Fluoride is and it's in our toothbrushes. We should be using Miswak sticks. Also, even deodorant and our vitamins cause cancer. The ingredients are para bens and.folic acid.

So they may have removed the formaldehyde but there are still other ingredients that are just as harmful as that ... It's up to you but I don't want to risk my baby to save a few dollars on shampoo

You're correct. While this isn't new news, they're still phasing it out and have not completed it yet. I use California Baby or BB.

Burt's bees and California baby are great alternatives.  Natural ingredients that are safe and gentle on your babies skin.  Also no animal testing.

If these ingredients are listed then they are harmful:

•Quaternium-15
•DMDM hydantoin
•Imidazolidinyl urea
•Diazolidinyl urea

Also:
You need To avoid 1,4-dioxane
watch out for these ingredients, which create 1,4-dioxane as a byproduct:

•PEG-100 stearate
•Sodium laureth sulfate
•Sodium myreth sulfate
•Polyethylene
•Ceteareth-20

I just did some research on this and according to 2 different articles I read the company changed there products in January and removed formeldahide and other toxic chemicals because they are listening to their customer concerns and because in 2011 the Obama administration classified formeldahide as a carcinogen.
