My husband and I have also recently joined Melaleuca as a result of this information! What they allow in our products is completely unacceptable and we must get the word out to people because they simply remain uneducated on what they are using every day.

if formaldehyde is such a bad thing then why is it an ingredient of the products listed on this page? if it is an unnecessary additive they might as well consider black widow venom or belly button fuzz, right?

I couldn’t believe what household products contain these toxic chemicals! I joined Melaleuca as a result- over 400 natural products with no carcinogens. What a difference it’s made for me and my family!

Thank you for this article.
Formaldehyde exposure may lead to a rather severe contact allergy. While more and more people became aware of formaldehyde content in their grooming, beauty, household articles, etc., it is widely unknown that the clothes you are wearing or your bed shits are made of formaldehyde-treated fabrics.
I am an airline stuff and I developed a severe formaldehyde allergy after my airline made us wear uniform blouses that were loaded with formaldehyde. Wearing the shiny cotton blouses on an intercontinental flights was a torture and no matter how often the blouses were washed, there was enough formaldehyde in the fabric to cause skin rashes and breathing problems. For a while the airline ignored the reports from affected employees. However, when the cases multiplied, new blouses from a different fabric were designed. The new fabric was tested for formaldehyde and the contact allergies disappeared. What was left, however, was the incredible sensitivity to the smallest amount of this poisonous substance.
Formaldehyde may also be found in shoes and leather attire as well as in products made of rubber.
