While I understand your point of view and agree with it with regard to certain chemicals, the evidence suggesting the toxicity of 1,4 Dioxane is quite high (http://cosmeticdatabase.com/ingredient.php?ingred06=726331). And regardless of your opinion, consumers have the right to know if this ingredient is in their products so they can decide for themselves whether or not they want to use it. As of today, companies do not need to list 1,4 Dioxane on the ingredients labels. I would also suggest that if you are truly interested in having a discussion on the potential toxicity, or lack thereof, of various chemicals, you write your comments in a way that is less acerbic and condescending. You may find that others become more receptive to what you have to say. Sir,

Chemicals, which are harmful at high doses, are very likely and probably not harmful at low doses. If they were, our own body's production of NO, OH, etc, and use of cobalt, iron, copper etc would kill us. NaCl and H2O will kill us in large amounts, perhaps we should avoid all contact with even small amounts just for that reason.
