Johnson's Baby Shampoo, 15 Ounce (Pack of 2)

 (14 customer reviews)

Have used Johnson's baby shampoo and body wash since I gave birth to my daughter. When I found out that Johnson&Johnson's have used a toxic ingredient in their products knowing that it was a possible carcinogen, I have stopped using all their products.

Contains the formaldehyde-releasing preservative quaternium-15, as well as the chemical byproduct 1,4-dioxane. Formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane are known carcinogens. The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission has reported that "the presence of 1,4-dioxane, even as a trace contaminant, is cause for concern," and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services added formaldehyde to its list of known human carcinogens in June 2011.

Johnson's Baby Shampoo is something I still use, especially at the change of seasons when my allergies act up and I don't want any regular type of shampoo causing my eyes additional itch, stress or general discomfort. I've used this ever since I was a kid (although at that time I used it much more regularly) and I've never been regretful about it. It is every bit as gentle as they say it is--no burning sensation in my eyes when I use this to wash my hair; and I'm sorry about the other reviewer's experience but my hair feels clean after each and every wash.

I highly recommend this product.

I struggle with dry itchy scalp that most medicated shampoos can't seem to fix. I figured if baby shampoo is mild enough for the toddlers than it surely will not irritate my follicle disabled scalp. I was right, my scalp is healthier than ever. You can't beat the price and the quality has kept J&J on top of the pediatric world for almost a century. I recommend this to anyone who has the same needs...
