Is Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo toxic? Campaign for Safe Cosmetics boycott Johnson and Johnson because of cancer causing ingredients in baby shampoos According to NaturalNews a new report put together by Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC) has announced that despite several petitions from consumers Johnson & Johnson (J&J) continues in certain countries (the US, Australia, Canada, China, and Indonesia) to produce baby shampoos that contain two cancer-causing chemicals, even after a reformulation of the products. What products of J&J contain these 2 cancer-causing chemicals and why are they being used in the baby products? 
The report, Baby's Tub is Still Toxic, explains that J&J's Baby Shampoo, Oatmeal Baby Wash, Moisture Care Baby Wash, and Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash all contain 1,4-dioxane, a petrochemical byproduct of the ethoxylation process that lessens the severity of other chemical ingredients, but can also lead to cancer.
J&J's Baby Shampoo also still contains quaternium-15, a harmful preservative added to products to kill bacteria. In the process, though, it releases formaldehyde, a highly poisonous ingredient also used in rat poison. Formaldehyde can cause permanent lung damage, gastrointestinal corrosion, skin burns, and cancer. J&J does not need to even be using these chemicals in its baby products because the company already makes versions of these same products that are free of these chemicals for Denmark, Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, and the UK. "Natural" versions of J&J's baby shampoo products, which are free of these and other harmful chemicals, are already available in the US and other markets. But they usually cost twice as much as J&J's conventional varieties and that discourages many consumers from making the switch.
