I've never had a problem using Johnson's baby shampoo, however, my ferrets are bathed only about 2 or 3 times a year. Their skin has never been dry from it, and they have always looked so pretty and fluffy after their baths. However, now I'm concerned about some of the additives alluded to here, so I think I'll try to contact Johnson and Johnson and see what they have to say about.
