Lots of sunscreen and other beauty products seem to be contaminated with benzene. Johnson & Johnson was caught a few times putting it in baby powder or something

J&J's baby powder situation was related to asbestos[0]. So it must be under your "or something" hand wavy qualifier. If you're going to sling dirt, at least make it accurate. The benzene use was in other products like sunscreen[1]

They mention the sunscreen in the other sentence of the post.

I gotta say, your post comes off (maybe I’m misreading it) as a bit critical, given that you seem to agree with the other poster as to the underlying problem (frequent contamination issues).

My favorite sunscreen, the cans of spray Neutrogena, was recalled for benzene contamination, I remember. 2 or 3 years ago. Thankfully they reformulated or did whatever was necessary because after a bit, they brought the product line back.
