Thanks. Looks like a preservative. But with all the recalls J&J’s had, and an OTC plant in Pennsylvania being so dirty it’s been shut down for years, my ears go back at the mention of J&J.

Excellent! Those were the numbers I was looking for. Thanks again.

A formaldehyde releasing agent seems like a terrific preservative- continually releasing small amounts of formaldehyde- for a product that will sit long months in an environment like a bathroom.

I assume they’ve found an equally good preservative for close to the same price.
If not- and someone leaves the top off for a couple months and their baby gets meningitis or the plague- it’s going to be worse for J&J!

I use baby shampoo my old self, the cheapest brands. No need to pay for the cosmetic additives, dangerous or not.
