It's possible I am the only person to not have known this, but apparently in the U.S the government has a searchable database by ingredient with
products containing that ingredient and at what percentage.
I was previously using the sticky thread to find a type of product that contains the chemical I want, and then looking up various MSDS for products
that might contain the chemical I wanted.
Now I can just look up any chemical and find what percentage is contained in various brands. Then I just find a retailer that carries that product.
Just thought I'd share in case someone else didn't know about this website.

I used to use this database often, a quick search of the URL on this site gives a number of threads where it was the topic of interest (and quite a
few more where it was mentioned):

It's a good resource but I have to wonder if things ever get updated, I believe there was a section in the potassium thread where they were searching
the database for t-butanol but when one of the fuel additives that was supposed to have t-butanol was found it wasn't in there.
