Seems like if this is true, it's something that shouldn't be behind a paywall. Does anyone have a list of the affected products? The actually research data and details I certainly support being behind a paywall however. Actually upon a quick google found the direct links to the files that list the products that are and are not contaminated. Glad that most all EltaMD (the most popular on Amazon are not effected but a couple models are).

  >Fruit of the Earth - Gel - Aloe Vera Gel - 2.78 2.94* (ppm Benzene) Aloe Vera Gel? Sounds like straight up terrible quality standards to get benzene in an Aloe Vera gel. Stuff like like this makes me hesitant to use any product

    The less chemicals you use, the better. Use simple soaps and deoderants, etc.

      Aloe Vera is supposed to be in that category of "simple".

    I know aloe vera is often said to be useful in clearing benzene and formaldehyde from the air as a houseplant: perhaps this is being picked up from the environment, rather than any production issue per se?
