15 Sneaky Chemicals in Everyday Beauty Products to Avoid
Have you questioned the ingredients in the daily hair products you use?
I found 15 hidden ingredients that you should avoid:
The 15 Sneaky Chemicals
Yellow #11 and Blue #5 FD&C Color: These pigments are coal-tar based and can harm your hair/scalp.
Tetrasodium EDTA: It weakens the skin's barrier, making it easy for toxins to enter your scalp.
Mineral Oil: Nothing can enter or exit your pores because mineral oil blocks them.
Sulfates: Used to clean garage floors, these cause your hair to dry.
Sulfonates: Dries hair and irritates the scalp.
Isopropyl Alcohol: Dead ends are due to isopropyl alcohol. It's used in several hairsprays!
Silicone: The preservative silicone makes hair appear dry and lifeless.
PEG: The major ingredient in oven cleansers is PEG.
Propylene Glycol (PG): Even while it makes your hair shine, it irritates your scalp and weakens your hair. Used in popular shampoo, conditioners and styling gels.
Diazolidinyl Urea: Used in the cotton industry, it causes dryness, irritation, and even allergic responses in the scalp.
Triclosan: Deodorants, shampoos, and even toothpaste have it. Your hormones may become out of whack as a result, making pregnancy difficult.
Benzene: Used in shampoos, it weakens your immune system.
Formaldehyde: A food preservative. It enters the body through the scalp and can cause severe skin irritation.
Dimethicone: Many believes it's a hair smoother, but it blocks moisture to the scalp. It also prevents essential oils from benefiting the hair.
Diethanolamine: They make foam with it, but it irritates the scalp.
