LOL) I, too, used J&J back then.<br />BUT, I have learned that Johnson and Johnson and Walmart's Equate brand are being sued (by the state of NJ) in a class action lawsuit for carcinogens in their products. One of the culprits is Q-15. Yes, there is definitely more than one ingredient that is listed in the lawsuit.<br /><br />Lest you think I am soliciting (which I, most certainly am not) I will tell you I found your blog through a friend of a friend -- more specifically -- my friend listed a blog she liked and when I visited that blog your blog was linked to it.)<br /><br />I work with a company that has natural products and, of course, I am partial to them but I would implore any mother to use SOME kind of natural product -- I do not care if it is my company or not. <br /><br />The ingredients in products that the American and Canadian public trusts are often horrendous! <br />If you can afford Trader Joe's or WholeFoods - go for it. <br /><br />My company is wholesale so it fits other budgets or those who choose not to use extra money in this area.<br />But find SOMETHING other than the products with Q-15 (a formaldehyde releasing agent), methylene chloride and 1,4 dioxane.<br /><br />I value frugality and quality and I have really been enjoying your blog!<br /><br />Here is the URL address for the J&J lawsuit info: http://the-best-nest.blogspot.com/2010/11/lawsuit-proceeds-on-johnson-johnsons.htmlSoutenushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187685398897830910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-54412371583707778862010-09-25T08:13:37.832-07:002010-09-25T08:13:37.832-07:00I'm wondering how soft they get?

Then again, I'd love some homemade Clorox wipes (good idea, Lisa!) so maybe I'll make those first and see how they feel.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581699201036948204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-27327993540490159552010-09-24T10:54:33.442-07:002010-09-24T10:54:33.442-07:00I've got to try these.

Store them in the an airtight container.<br /><br />If you have wipes that are really sturdy, you can wash them at least once. Throw the messy ones away, and wash the ones that were just used on a wet bottom.Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-12836563601076766482010-09-24T07:30:29.971-07:002010-09-24T07:30:29.971-07:00I'm glad you did the follow up because I'v...I'm glad you did the follow up because I've been meaning to comment. It seems like I could come up with this easily enough on my own, but I'd be interested in someone else doing the foot work if possible. What about homemade Clorox wipes? I mean, basically the same thing but with bleach? Any recipes for that?Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273786651287579649noreply@blogger.com
