About this presentation
Prolonged exposure to 1,4-dioxane has been linked to potential health risks, including skin and respiratory irritation, and an increased risk of cancer. 1,4-dioxane is highly soluble in water, allowing it to spread easily through groundwater and surface water.
It can be found in trace amounts in home and personal care products. By choosing 1,4-dioxane-free ingredients, manufacturers can help consumers create a safer and healthier home environment for themselves and their families.
AOS is a safe alternative to 1,4-dioxane, and it provides a favourable balance between effective cleaning performance and gentleness, along with a more environmentally friendly profile compared to SLES.
