"1,4 Dioxane is listed as a probable human carcinogen, and the California EPA lists it as a suspected kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant, and respiratory toxicant. It is commonly found in products such as shampoo, toothpaste, bubble bath, etc., that create suds. Ingredients that can be contaminated with dioxane include sodium laurel (and laureth) sulfate, PEG (polyethylene glycol), phenoxyethanol, and
other ingredients containing the words xynol, cetereth, and oleth. It is also a byproduct of certain manufacturing processes, so it is not required to be listed in a product’s ingredient list."
