Breaking News: Johnson & Johnson Commits to Removing Toxic Chemicals
Our friends over at Healthy Child Healthy World recently shared some exciting news with us about how Johnson & Johnson (makers of Aveeno, Neutrogena, and Johnson'??s Baby Shampoo), will be removing toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, dioxane, phthalates, parabens, triclosan and polycyclic musks from their product line. It is pretty disgusting to think that there were even toxic chemicals in their line to begin with, but this is surely a step in the right direction.
Initiated by the reports,Toxic Tub and Baby'??s Tub is Still Toxic from The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics who sought to make Johnson & Johnson more accountable for what they add into their line.
As pair of this "phase out," J&J'??s will remove carcinogens and other harmful chemicals from cosmetics as well as specify a timeline for the removal.
