Gulf news 13 Feb 09: Dubai Municipality has withdrawn from the local market some 17 shampoos of five brands from China, India and Iran whose samples have been found in laboratory tests to contain a high percentage of dioxane 1.4, which is carcinogenic if used on a long-term basis. Alert Danger List: Himalaya Herbals Gentle Baby Shampoo (India) Himalaya Protein Shampoo (India) Himalaya Anti-Dandruff greasy hair shampoo (Few Batches) Sehat Alomond Shampoo (Iran) Sehat Sedar Shampoo (Iran) Olive Essence Shampoo (China) Ginseng Essence (China) Gornia Eggs Shampoo (China) For me its surprising to know that Himalayas which i always thought is a pure herbal shampoo is included in this list.
hey thanks a lot for the update. this is news indeed!! Himalaya Shampoo and cream isn't good. infact one of the paed doc told me not to use for my child. but the foot scrub is good. surprising it is...herbal or not!!
