@SilleeMee I'm reading they're an independent testing lab, they've sent the results of this study to the FDA asking them to recall these products. I use Target UP and UP Clear Aloe Gel (at the end of this list) to make Vitamin C serum so I'll be following this story.
@decaf @SilleeMee The valisure report was surely very technical and complex. They want the FDA to recall some products. Reading it together with the Shape article, the Shape article stated that the items at Table 2 (page 12) were the ones they recommended consumers discard because Valisure detected benzene at 2 ppm or higher, which is the FDA max limit when unavoidable. I think the other tables represented products with levels of benzene below this, which would be less risky, and Up and Up is in one of the other tables. Valisure's advocacy extends against these products because they claim that the benzene is avoidable because some products do not have benzene. So products in Tables other than 2, raised, if I understood correctly, a lower level of risk.
Do not take my word for any of this, I am just trying to understand. If anyone thinks I am wrong feel free to correct me.
