I picked up a bottle last week, it was the new Medicated formula, and when I got home I realised it had propylene glycol in it. Does the regular formation have it too?
No..The one I has is pure distilled water, wheat germ, indian hemp olive oil, balsam, aloe vera, bee pollen, silk protein, bay laurel, fruit bioflavonoids, ancient african herbal formula..maybe that's the ingredient in the medicated formula..IDK
Propylene glycol (PG) is a colorless, nearly odorless, syrupy liquid that is derived from natural gas. It is used in dozens of products that you commonly use around your house. Some websites and natural product promoters argue that PG is a nasty, carcinogenic chemical that has been wrongly greenlighted by the FDA. The FDA, and others, say that their claims are completely unfounded - that PG is completely safe when used properly.
Propylene Glycol is used:
proylene gylcol is used to make antifreeze and de-icing solutions for cars, airplanes, and boats. It is also used in hydraulic brake fluids and inks used in stamp pads, ballpoint pens, and print shops.
•In food – Cake mixes, salad dressings, soft drinks, popcorn, food colorings, fat-free ice cream and sour cream. It also protects food from freezing and helps as a preservative.
•In toiletries and cosmetics – Lotions, creams, some baby wipes, shampoos, antiperspirants, cosmetics, lipstick, lubricants
•In other household items – Room deodorizers, cleaners, sanitizers and yes, new "non-toxic" and "safe" automotive antifreezes
•And specific to the soap making and toiletry making industry, it is also used as a carrier in fragrance oils and in many melt and pour soap bases.
Over the past few years, there has been a lot of controversy about propylene glycol. Many people immediately associate it with diethylene glycol (DEG), a common (and admittedly dangerous) ingredient in automotive antifreeze, and assign guilt by association. Others refer to MSDS tests where PG was tested in 100% concentrations. Even sand and salt have ominous sounding MSDS cautions at 100%. But in most products, especially in “leave on” applications like lotions and cosmetics, PG is only used in tiny percentages.
I just bought 2 bottles two days ago mind you it was not the medicated version, it was the regular version, and it did not have this ing. in it. I take it only the medicated version contains this.
