1,4-Dioxane is a likely carcinogen found in cleaners, cosmetics, and personal care products. But even a conscious consumer will not find 1,4-dioxane on the ingredient label. It has been found in groundwater sites throughout the US.

Adverse health effects from 1,4-dioxane include eye, nose and throat irritation from short term exposure, and kidney and liver damage from long term exposure. [1] Unfortunately studies over the years (dating back to the 1970s) have continually detected 1,4-dioxane in a range of products, some far exceeding the supposed safe threshold of 10,000 ppb.
