CRIPPEN HECK!

Are you aware that manufacturers of cleaning products are not required to list the ingredients that they use in their potentially dangerous products that are on supermarket shelves?

It's a voluntary standard according to NZ Food Safety because they aren't foodstuffs.

Well, whoopdy-do. Why do these toothless watchdogs think that you have to ingest something for it to be dangerous. Haven't they heard about topical application of poisons?

Doesn't 2-4-5T, 1080 and Agent Orange ring a bell? 

These nasty things are all related and do poison and harm through skin contact. 

A real nasty that over the last few years has crept into almost every cosmetic, shampoo, soap or cleaning product is METHYLISOTHIASOLINONE.

This bastard chemical is being used because it prolongs shelf life and of course is cheaper (or more profitable to the manufacturers) than safer chemicals. It began its life as an anti-algae treatment on the bottom of cargo ships and oil tankers. Apparently it kills plant life trying to attach to hulls. It also kills marine life and contaminates harbours.

I'm allergic to this stuff along with millions of people around the world. I carefully read the back labels of everything I buy from washing machine powder to wet-wipes and choose brands that don't have it listed in the ingredients.

Tonight I shopped at the small corner store and couldn't find the ECO brand of dish washing liquid I usually buy. This brand voluntarily lists the ingredients and methylisothiasolinone is not one they use.
The shop didn't stock this. All of the other dish washing liquids (there were about 8 variants across 2 or 3 brands) had a panel on the back label stating  - LIST OF INGREDIENTS TO BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE.

C***ts!

I refuse to use all the big brands and indeed any brands that don't have the guts to list ingredients.

They're hiding something if they don't.
