Hair care products, along with other cosmetic and personal care products we use every day, contain thousands of ingredients. Most of which aren’t harmful, but others have been linked to health issues from skin and eye irritation to cancers.


Below are some of the chemicals set as the appropriate standard for beauty, cosmetic and personal care products which can be harmful to your health. Watch out for these chemicals when buying your foundation, shampoo and toothpastes so you don’t put yourself at further risk.


Parabens are a range of effective and widely used preservatives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. They can be found in shampoos, standard moisturisers, shaving gels, personal lubricants, spray tanning solution, makeup, and even toothpaste! However studies have found high concentrations of parabens in human breast tumours and parabens are able to interfere with estrogen in the body, which can influence the development of breast cancer. Studies are still being performed, but its best to stay away to be safe.


Sodium laureth sulfate (SLS), or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), is an anionic detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.). It’s cheap to make and a very effective foaming agent. 

Unfortunately, they’re also dangerous, highly irritating chemicals. Far from providing healthy hair and skin as they claim, products containing these chemicals can lead to direct damage to the hair follicle, skin damage, permanent eye damage and even liver toxicity.


Aside from studies proving Cocamide DEA has a high irritation potential. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) lists coconut oil diethanolamine condensate (cocamide DEA) as possibly carcinogenic to humans and was added to the list of chemicals known to cause cancer in 2012 in California, US.


Studies have increasingly linked triclosan to a range of adverse health and environmental effects, from skin irritation, endocrine disruption (disruptions can cause cancerous tumours), bacterial and compounded antibiotic resistance. In fact, with every new study being done the dangers are becoming more and more prominent with states in the US already banning the use of the chemical in their personal care products.

Make sure when choosing your next foundation, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste and other personal care products to check the label to avoid danger!
