Glo Germ™ Powder is manufactured in a plant that uses Formaldehyde. In 10 years of
random sample testing at independent labs, Formaldehyde has not been detected in Glo
Germ™ particles. The original manufacturing method included using Formaldehyde for
"curing" and the nature of the process ensures that any remaining formaldehyde is offgassed.
