Chemical Formaldehyde in CREAMSILK and SUNSILK. This is Girl Power?!!! Formaldehyde is FORMALIN for EMBALMING!

I received an email saying that Creamsilk and Sunsilk have formaldehyde and the person called up Unilever and the company said its just a small amount. My goodness, but if i take it regularly, doesnt it accumulate? I am alarmed bec. recently the govt has been monitoring products from China as well like candies, foodstuff with formaldehyde. Btw, formaldehyde is FORMALIN. The chemical used to embalm and preserve corpses.. Eeewww...dont buy all their products if they feel that "this is just a small amount"..

check your sachet and bottles, what im saying is true (though diff. countries may differ; im referring to sachets/bottles from some countries in Asia) - I checked my shampoo and its says there - FORMALDEHDYE!!

IF ENOUGH PEOPLE CALL UP THE COMPANY, THEY WILL TAKE ACTION. LETS NOT ALLOW BIG COMPANIES TO TAKE US CONSUMERS FOR GRANTED.

Update:

Hi Michael M. Agree on the preservation part you said -but not on my hair! The dangerous chemical formalin will seep in my head and who knows what damage it does to my brain? isnt it that damages from pesticides for example is acquired by eating the veggies. And that's indirectly acquired. What more if a chemical is applied directly to your body? I think big companies should be responsible enough to think of people's welfare rather than profits. Sorry, am not angry at you -i am just disgusted with the company. BTW, THEIR HOTLINE NUMBER IS 1-800-10--5647258.

    That is totally wrong and disgusting. Sunsilk is bad for your hair anyway. Stick with the professional products.

    Since formaldehyde is used for embalming, wouldn't it actually be a good thing for your hair? It would make it stronger, last longer, and have a shiny quality.
