It is EXTREMELY important to read labels. If "fragrance" is listed as an ingredient, it is safe to assume that the chemical formula contains toxins.

Judy, have you heard of a book called "Beauty to Die For" by Judi Vance?
It is an excellent expose of the toxic compounds in all kinds of personal care products, and the shocking lack of regulation thereof. It goes through various categories of these products and gives lists of specific chemicals to avoid. I'd recommend it to everyone, along with a thorough examination of everything you are using, from toothpastes to shampoos, perfumes deodorants, soaps, and everything else, too.
