OT: Quaternium-15

[Guest guest]

In my quest to find anything to help my son with autism, I came

across something startling -- Quaternium-15. This is what it is:

Quaternium-15 is a preservative found in many cosmetics and

industrial substances that releases formaldehyde. It can be found in

numerous sources, including by not limited to: mascara, eyeliner,

moisturizer, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, nail polish, personal

lubricants, soaps, body wash, baby lotion or shampoo, facial

cleanser, tanning oil, self-tanning cream, sunscreen, powder,

shaving products, ointments, personal wipes or cleansers, wipes,

paper, inks, paints, polishes, waxes and industrial lubricants. It

can cause contact dermatitis, a symptom of an allergic reaction,

especially in those with sensitive skin, on an infant's skin, or on

sensitive areas such as the genitals.

QUATERNIUM-15 Hazard Summary

CAS Number: 4080-31-3

•Possible impurity: FORMALDEHYDE

•Skin or sense organ toxicity hazards: suspected

•Cardiovascular or blood toxicity hazards: suspected

•Immunotoxicity hazards: suspected

NOW, go take a look at these products in your home, especially the

wash you are using on your kids. YIKES! I have found something

BETTER! For fear of being kicked off for advertising, I won't go

into details. After all, you can go search for something else

without me telling you what I found! But if you do want to know

what I have found, please email me off list, and I would love to

give you the products name! Have a great day!

PS. I do not sell these products. If you email me, I will only

share info about the product. If you want to buy them, you order

them from the company, not me!

Knocked off?

Your message is more relevant to a group concerned with chemical sensitivities.

This

board is not about products for the home.

If you wish to remain here because you are following the SCD Diet you are most

welcome,

but we frown on " fishing expeditions " even if they are just on behalf of

friends.

Just so you do not take this as nasty and personal, I am forwarding the info to

the

moderator of an SCD group that does duiscuss such topics.
