Product Information

Why Herbal Essences is terrible for your hair and scalp✨ Im not going to mention names however, i want everyone to know that NO professional hairstylist would EVER recommend this brand to ANYONE. The amount of formaldehyde used in cosmetics either neat or through formaldehyde-releasing preservatives is tiny. Sabrina Rowe Holdsworth is a celebrity hairstylist and founder of NTRL By Sabs, a natural haircare line "formulated with textured hair in mind. Probably that is why the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Broad concluded both in 1988 and in 2008 that DMDM Hydantoin is " safe as used in cosmetics".

One is dimethicone which is a water soluble silicone so it won’t build up as badly as some other silicones.

If you are someone who likes to know what you put on your face then fragrance is not your best friend - there's no way to know what’s really in it. However, Colins argues that in the case of formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, formaldehyde is released slowly and the skin has probably not evolved to deal with that.

The Skin Deep ingredient hazard score, from 1 to 10, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients.However, in larger amounts ( according to Wikipedia 30 mL of a solution containing 37% formaldehyde) it's deadly. Another potential issue is that formaldehyde-releasers might also release other things while reacting with amino acids in the skin that is probably the explanation why some people are not allergic to formaldehyde but are allergic to formaldehyde-releasing preservatives. These are all theories, far from proven facts, but we feel that there are some justified reasons why formaldehyde-releasing preservatives and Dmdm Hydantoin count as controversial. Super common little helper ingredient that helps products to remain nice and stable for a longer time.
