Natural cosmetics contain cancer-causing agent Includes List 4-29-08

A newly released study commissioned by the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), and overseen by environmental health consumer advocate David Steinman, analyzes leading "natural" and "organic" brand shampoos, body washes, lotions and other personal care products for the presence of the undisclosed carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane. A reputable third-party laboratory known for rigorous testing and chain-of-custody protocols, performed all testing.

Testing performed in 2007 and 2008 by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry. METHOD: An aliquot of sample was accurately weighed into a vial with 5 mL water and one gram of sodium sulfate. Internal standard (5 µg 1,4-Dioxane-d8) was added. The vial was capped and heated at 95°C for 60 minutes. A one mL aliquot of the headspace over the sample was analyzed by direct injection. CONDITIONS: Instrument: Agilent 5973N · Column: 25 m x 0.20 mm HP-624, 1.12 micron film · Column Temp: 40°C (hold 3 min) to 100°C at 10°C/min, then to 180°C at 25°C/min (hold 5 min) · Injector Temp: 220°C · Mass Range: Selected ion monitoring: masses 43, 58, 88 (dioxane): 64 and 96 (dioxane-d8); 1.72 cycles per second.
