Crud that would tick me off too!! At least those are required by law to be listed, but there are far too many loopholes to keep consumers in the dark when it comes to listing ingredients.

Why include it? I'm surprised they included it at all, seems strange to use synthetic ingredients for something like Bach Remedies that is supposed to be all natural as nature intended.

Do you think the Bach Rescue Remedy Spray is different? I can't find the "bad stuff" listed as active or inactive ingredients. I have googled and can't find that information about this product.

Any suggestions as to where I should look?

Thanks,
dolphin

Here you go , I was concerned for you and Dolphin so I hunted it down....

Interestingly the pastilles contain a different artifical sweetener according to this site.

Maybe I bought an older style tin of them and they have changed the ingedients , or maybe renamed aspartame !

Either way I'm not buying them , though the remedies and sprays look fine , they are just in alcohol...

27% alcohol.thats not an inactive ingredient lol. alcohol is actually classified as a poison, not a drug (all alcohols not just methanol/ethanol)

yes i can read minds. yours is blank most days..

Thanks so much, newby.

27% alcohol.....hmmmm Maybe that is why the spray works so well for me. A drink a day can be relaxing, but I hate the taste of alcoholic beverages. It makes it difficult to drink something. I have to say this might rate up there with some of the cough medicines, mouthwashes, and such.
