Note that the contaminant 1, 4 Dioxane is a by product of the “eth” ingredients, including Propyethenol, Ethylene glycol, Polyethylene, Oleth, Myreth and Laureth.

If 1,4-dioxane is a byproduct of ethoxylation from sodium lauryl sulfate to sodium laureth sulfate, then using less sodium laureth sulfate would reduce the level of the dioxane.
It would follow common sense to use the minimum amount of shampoo sufficient to get hair clean to reduce exposure (and also help your wallet).

“Although it disturbs me that they have to resort to this kind of fear marketing. It simply serves to make people more suspicious and fearful of perfectly fine cosmetic”

That’s just what I thought when I saw news of this. It only reinforces the idea that certain products are toxic, when most times they are perfectly safe in concetrations found in cosmetics.
