Is your Dry Shampoo causing cancer? At the end of October, major beauty brand Unilever issued a recall on multiple popular Dry Shampoos such as Dove, Nexxus, Suave, Rockaholic, Bed Head, and TRESemmé! Due to potentially elevated levels of a toxic cancer causing chemical ; Benzene. Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen. Meaning exposure to Benzene can be fatal by inhalation, orally, and through the skin and it can result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders which can be life threatening!
The convenience of Dry Shampoo is undeniable, used as a quick fix between washes but Unilever’s recall proves that even the most innocent household products may harbor unseen danger! In Dry Shampoo, benzene is used as a propelling agent. When used indoors, spraying benzene-rich products contaminates the home and has been shown to cause many health issues with frequent use.
Why do we as consumers continue to allow these big corporate brands to poison us? When we know the facts: because Unilever is not the only giant consumer goods company that has issued recalls on their products. Last year, Procter & Gamble (PG) recalled more than 30 aerosol spray hair care products, including many dry shampoos and dry conditioners, warning that the products contain benzene. P&G also last year issued a similar recall for more than a dozen Old Spice and Secret-branded aerosol deodorants and sprays, warning that the products also contain benzene!
