I'm allergic to these chemicals and I need to know if they are in any of the ALL Detergent products?

No they do not have to put all the ingredients on the package just the active ones. Anything can be listed as inert ingredients. Actually Johnson’s Baby Shampoo has Formaldehyde it uses the name quaternium-15. The link is below, you can check the bottle if you like. The FDA has extremely limited power. Here are the facts.\n The FDA cannot regulate a personal care product until it has been released into the marketplace.\n Neither personal care products nor their ingredients are reviewed or approved before they are sold to people.\n The FDA cannot require companies to do safety testing their personal care products before they are sold to people.\n The FDA cannot require recalls of harmful personal care products from the marketplace.\n The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) analyzed 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products and found that-\n- 884 of the chemicals were toxic\n- 314 caused biological mutation\n- 218 caused reproductive complications\n- 778 caused acute toxicity\n- 148 caused tumors\n- 376 caused skin and eye irritations\n \n There are some disturbing facts-\n- A product that kill 50% of lab animals through ingestion or inhalation can still receive the federal regulatory designation "non-toxic"\n- Of the 17,000 chemicals that appear in common household products, only 30% have been adequately tested for their side effects on our health; less than 10% have been tested for their effects on the nervous system, and nothing is known about the combined effects of these chemicals when mixed in our bodies.\n- No law requires manufactures to list the exact ingredients on the label.\n\n I do not know what chemical is the numbing agent in Johnson’s baby shampoo but I have also heard that there is one. All a company has to list is active ingredients; the inert ingredients can be almost anything. Companies use trade names for hazardous chemicals such as quaternium-15 so we do not know what it actually is. Also companies are only required to list short-term effects of using their products and are not required to list effects of long-term exposure. This is no conspiracy theory it is politics, money greasing the right hands and turning a blind eye. I believe in a free market but not a hazardous one. Switching from personal care products has improved the health of everyone in my household but most of all my wife, she has had Migraines for years and the day we got all of these products out of our house they stopped cold! I can supply info on healthy alternatives for people that care about their health. In most cases these products cost much less than store brands and work better.

if they are small, raised, skin-colored bumps they are probably an allergic reaction.  I have these as do both my sons.  The doctor has explained that it is a mild allergic reaction.  You can look at what soaps and detergents you are using and see if it helps...but i have had them since i was a child and they have never gone away.

You must go to dermatologist....Maybe your hands and your skin  are sensitive with some ingredient s in soap or something like that....(shower gel,or cream,etc.)....I think that is probably allergy...

SLS is what gives things that soapy feeling. Its found in a lot of household detergents and cleaners. Its also found in our soaps, shampoos and toothpaste. Generally it is alright for use but it is corrosive...imagine putting detergent in ur mouth! For ppl with sensitive skin and gums it can cause dryness, itchyness and mouth ulcers. Such ppl such avoid products without SLS. There are also concerns that it can cause cancer. No studies have proven this true. It is an irritant but not a carcinogenic.

Yes they are toxic.  Many lysol products have the chemical ingredient that make up part of the compound Agent Orange that was used during the Vietnam war to kill the follage.  Many household cleaners are on the registered pesticide list too.  It is a know fact that women who stay at home are 50% more likely to develop breast cancer than women who work outside the home as they are exposed to more cleaning chemicals at home.  Also a product that kills 50% of lab animals is still considered to be non toxic.  By law, a manufacturer can develop a product with any kind of chemical ingredient if it is intended for use in the home.  Pretty scary isn't it?

It seems as if there are some external sources making them sick- do you live in a wet environment? Are there signs of mildew on the windows or walls? Do you have pets, especially ones that tramp around in the weeds? Where do you and/or your husband work? Bringing in something on your clothes from work that may be toxic? What type of cleaning products do you use? Are you spraying their toys/room with Febreeze?- this has been known to be dangerous to animals! You need to do some serious research around your house and track poosible sources of toxins coming in or growing in your house.Not enough info for now, sorry. Allergy testing should rule out foods, but not environment.

No, nothing new.  That is why they tell you to do an allergy test each time you dye (in the instructions).  There are products with more "natural" ingredients (so they say) that you could try.  Do a search and you'll find a lot.\nGood luck.

"Detergent molecules have two very different parts--a polar or ionic part, such as a sulfonate group, and a non-polar part, consisting of a long hydrocarbon chain. (In the case of soap, a type of detergent, the polar group is carboxylate.) The polar part of the molecule is hydrophilic, meaning that it is attracted to water. The nonpolar part is hydrophobic,  meaning that it is repelled by water."\n"When you introduce detergent molecules into water, the hydrophobic groups change the structure of the water and interfere with hydrogen bonding between the water molecules. Consequently, the hydrophobic groups are expelled to the surface of the water, where the detergent molecules are oriented with their hydrophilic ends in the water and their hydrophobic groups away from it. For this reason, molecules such as detergents are often called surfactants,  or surface active agents. The replacement of water molecules by detergent molecules results in a decrease in the surface tension of water."\n\nThe source isn't the best type in the world, but the facts seem to be efficient and surprisingly accurate.

Everyone is different. It depends on what you are allergic too and what your body does when it is hit with allergens. First you get a skin test and see what you are allergic too. It may be something you can avoid and you just stay away from whatever that is. Otherwise you may need antihistimes, or allergy shots. You may also have to wash your bedding more often in very hot water and get rid of carpeting.

Most detergents have already reduced phosphate levels to below requested minimums. I think you have a stale worry and need to upgrade your worry list.
