Results Of Testing For 1,4-Dioxane

A newly released study commissioned by the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), and overseen by environmental health consumer advocate David Steinman, analyzes leading "natural" and "organic" brand shampoos, body washes, lotions and other personal care products for the presence of the undisclosed carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane. A reputable third-party laboratory known for rigorous testing and chain-of-custody protocols, performed all testing.

Amazingly, products like Seven Generation, Jason and Giovanni are NOT free of this product.

Surprisingly - I say surprisingly becasue up to now i had little faith in the USDA label- all USDA Organic certified labels are free from this compound.
