    I buy Johnson's baby lotion and it has none of the ingredients you mention, unless it's hidden in a name I don't recognise :

    Ingredients
    [PR-018677] Aqua, Glycerin, Isopropyl Palmitate, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Dimethicone, Ethylhexylglycerin, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Polysorbate 20, p-Anisic Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Bitartrate, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum

    well I am surprised, particularly as it's Johnsons.
    the only downside that stands out is the parfum.

    The problem for me in discovering that my beliefs about certain products might be wrong is the following :

    a) I decide, on the basis of things I've read or heard, that X is probably bad for me and I decide to avoid it in future,

    b) I find an alternative to X - call it A - that doesn't cause me problems. I can afford it, and it works for me. So I continue using A.

    c) Some time later it turns out that X isn't bad for me after all, but I'm already happy with A and so I can't be bothered to change.

    d) I continue to avoid X and carry on with A.
