Default Been reading Labels...

So since my last news interview I have been reading labels to find out what household things I can find Propylene Glycol in.

Here is a few let me know what you guys find around the house.

MY babies teething gel -- we rub it on her gums for teething :P

MY Hair Gel

My Deodorant

Will keep reading labels seems almost anything in a gel format can have it in it lol.

Propylene glycol has properties similar to those of ethylene glycol (monoethylene glycol, or MEG). (Note: propylene glycol may also use the acronym MEG, but as an abbreviation of methyl ethyl glycol.) The industrial norm is to replace ethylene glycol by propylene glycol
