How can this be natural when it contains propylene glycol? Although its a natural compound and found in deicers & hand sanitizer!

There may be other arguments against the use of propylene glycol but this is not one. You know what other "natural compound" is found in deicers and hand sanitizers? Water. So, by that logic, we shouldn't ingest water? Invalid reasoning.

This is a comment to the side bar comments. Since you choose to boohoo any thing which you choose as contraindicated for your Rx of health. Suggest the alternative compound which produces the same results and product usability or just Hush and let us living in reality understand a contents label ourselves. What I am saying is don't discount a product which produces the exact results candy makers are looking for, because you discount one of it's ingredients from prejudice.

When I originally purchased these, I was not too worried about ingredients. I have since changed my way of eating and would not consider these natural flavorings, especially those with the propylene glycol in them. They don't all have that, but have way more ingredients than something that is natural should have.

No answer...just a comment: This is a GREAT QUESTION, thank you for alerting us. I also feel that 'organic compound' or not. propylene glycol is a NO-NO asd a food additive. I can not wait until food manufacturers get this into their brains.

Hello Victoria, I was interested in checking out your concern but have read the list of ingredients on my present jar at least twice and am unable to find Methylparaben and/or Propylparaben listed?? I have been using this product for about 2 months now and am very pleased with the results. I hope you find some answers relative to your concerns!

It's naturally occurring sugar alcohol. Do an internet search to read more about it.

Yes, it does contain propylene glycol. It is for men. If you are interested for minoxidil for women, Amazon sells them:http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=Minoxidil+for+women&rh;=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AMinoxidil+for+women&ajr;=0

I did not realize they changed the formula, it looks like this one has parabens but they are listed as the last ingredient as propylene glycol. Hope this helps.

This is a common concern, raised because something "sounds scary," and it's often cited as "antifreeze." Propylene glycol does indeed lower the freezing point of water, and you can use it as anti-freeze, which says exactly nothing about its safety as a food ingredient. For the record, the chemical in car anti-freeze is ethylene glycol, which is toxic. Propylene glycol is considered non-toxic and is used as an anti-freeze for water pipes and in food production where ingestion is possible. You would have to consume massive amounts of the chemical, impossible from food, in order to get anywhere near toxic levels. Also, I should note that, technically, TABLE SALT can be considered "anti-freeze." This is a common concern, raised because something "sounds scary," and it's often cited as "antifreeze."

This is supposed to be environmentally safe and non-corrosive. Thus far, I have not had any problems. According to the label: Modified Carbonyldiamide Crystal, Special Glycols, Non-Ionic Surficants Accelerants, Proprietary Traction Agents, and Special Inhibitors.

It contains propanol and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether. It's a floor cleaner, not a wax. I think it does a nice job.

Canada considers it toxic - http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredient/705315/PROPYLENE_GLYCOL/#I was just going to order a bunch, but now I won't. Thanks, Douglass for pointing it out!

Hi, I had similar concerns. The ingredients listed are: propylene carbonate, soybean oil methyl ester, tocopheryl acetate. hth.

I agree that it does have Propylene Glycol in its ingredients because it is listed right on the bottle. I looked it up online and it is referred to by one source as a mild carcinogen which was news to me since I am a cancer survivor. I intend to do more research on this. S. Phipps

The label lists these ingredients, in this rider: deionized water, ascorbic acid (vitamin C 20 percent), propylene glycol, triethanolamine, ferulic acid, hyaluronic acid, di-pantheons, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, EDTA. Do you have any feedback on these?

I'm looking at the ingredients list on my bottle and from what I can see, it does not contain any propylene glycol. Hope that helps!

because there is nothing wrong with propylene glycol. its in antifreeze, yes, but just because its in the final product of antifreeze doesnt make it toxic alone.
