Formaldehyde in common household products

Is there any better reason to choose Shaklee products? You can be sure the safety and HEALTH of your family is Shaklee's goal! Shaklee shampoos, conditioners, vitamins, handy wipes, children's vitamins, DO NOT contain formaldehyde, and, as stated with the GetClean household kit, it's about the toxic ingredients NOT contained in Shaklee products:
no napthalene, no kerosene, no formaldehyde, no phenol, no creosol, no lye, no hydrocholoric acid, no sulfuric acid, no petroleum distillates, no benzene, no ammonia, no paradichlorobenzene, no sodium hydroxide, no butyl cellosolve, no phosphoric acid, no chlorine, no phosphates, no nitrates, no borates, no animal testing, biodegradable!
