>>Inspecting her herbal shampoo label for the first time, she finds cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine and methyl cocoyl taurate, the stuff of chemistry labs.

Horrors. I recently discovered that there are significant quantities of dihydrogen monoxide in my body.

Could this scary sounding chemical, which is indeed often found in chemistry labs, be linked to my recent cancer? Probably not. Commonly called "water", it's something we all ingest daily.

My point is that having a rule about whether or not you will buy something based on whether it has unpronounceable "chemicals" in it is silly.
