Herbal Essence

Remember the commercials for this shampoo? Maybe the spokesmodels' "ohs and ahs" were due to the toxins irritating their scalp and not the tingly fragrance...Well P&G is cleaning up their act by altering the ingredients in this 'natural' shampoo and removing the 1,4-dioxane. "Recent tests of the products found they contained such a high level of 1,4-dioxane that they should have carried warning labels as required under California's Proposition 65. The law requires companies to include warnings on products that contain certain levels of chemicals know to the state to cause cancer." This is pretty scary-how many other shampoos are getting away with including this toxin?
