Herbal Essences to Finally Cut Down on Cancer-Causing Chemical

Herbal Essences by Proctor & Gamble is getting rid of carcinogenic chemicals in its products. Read more here from fastcompany.com

....Wha? I didn't even know.....dude.

Gotta get off this short bus and read up on things.

Wow! I'm in California and HE is currently being sold in its current state. I wonder how they're able to continue selling their products? Hmm

Yeah, it's scary to find out what's inside certain products. If you use a product on a weekly basis and for years a time who knows how much exposure you get.

Wow! How interesting. I just picked up HE HH and Hydralicious on yesterday in Target but since I am trying to stick to the CG method I decided I was going to return them. This brief article was very eye opening.

My mom got breast cancer in 2008 and I have always thought what if anything she may have been using daily, unbeknownst to her, that may have triggered or a factor in her diagnosis. You just never know.

All natural is the way to go...not always foolproof but at least it narrows things down.

Thanks for sharing.

I must be missing something cause I just don't see this "1,4 Dioxane" in any of my 4 different HE products.

Those products I am referring to:
HE Hydralicious
HE Hello Hydration
HE Totally Twisted
HE Long Term Relationship Split-end Protector Leave-in

Update:
OK...now I see why! I followed another link and see that it is NOT listed in the ingredient list! That is totally you know what!

ooook so i guess this freakin big botle of HE i just bought & thankfully onnly used once, will just sit here...wow!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thanks for this informaton.

Wow I really have to read labels and check in with you guys daily.

so when does the removal of the carcinogen process begin?? now i need to see if they are still doing research on animals as well! jeeeez!

After doing some research and reading up it seems that they are only pointing out that this chemical is found in the shampoo. Several online research articles only talk about them lowering the levels that is found in the he shampoo. Soo to me it sounds like it may not be in the conditioners.. I will continue to do more research...

They say that no later than Jan 2011 all changes will be made. They are also projecting a date of July 2010 I guess that is their short term goal..

thanks for the info
