If you have any baby or kids products that have Quaternium 15, like almost all Johnson and Johnson products, DONT USE THEM!
Quaternium 15 is a formaldehyde (ya know that stuff they preserve dead bodies with)carcinogen and causes cancer, dermatitis; is a neurotoxin, sensitizer-poisonous; an irritant to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes!
I currently am stocked with Johnson and Johnson for Lilly & Bella and am throwing them all out! They are just too precious to wash n lotion them with something that causes cancer! I think I am going to replace them with Koala Pals Brand! They are all natural and safe for my babies!
If you are interested, here are some more products that a ton of us use and some of the yucky things they contain! No wonder everyone is getting cancer these days! Sick!
After reading this I am pretty sure that I am going to try converting my house to all natural stuff! Thats right ladies...I'm goin green!
I have personally already had a cancer scare, so really it makes sense for me! Also if any of you or your family members suffer from Allergies, Asthma, Eczema, Rosacia, or Autism, it is possible that some of your household products are causing those conditions!
Check your labels for ingredients on all of your products & look em up if they arent listed here!!!
Let me know if you want information on how I am converting my own home for my family!!!
