hair loss women

Have you ever read the label on your shampoo bottle? You'll be shocked to learn that the ingredients found in many shampoos may pose a threat to your health.

Research has shown that various chemicals lurking inside shampoo may induce serious health risks
like memory loss
eye and skin irritation
hair follicle damage that can lead to hair loss
and even cancer.

While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration classifies personal care products
it does not regulate them. Therefore
there are no legal guidelines or boundaries for shampoo manufacturers to follow.

The descriptive "all-natural" has become a buzzword in the beauty world for environmental friendliness. What some shampoo makers leave out
however
is they still use the lathering agents
emulsifiers and synthetic fragrances that contain hundreds of harmful chemicals.

According to a company called Blinc Inc.
it is very likely that the list of ingredients in a bottle of shampoo will contain some of the following additives:

* Propylene glycol
known as the main ingredient in antifreeze
is also found in makeup
toothpaste and in your shampoo. It can cause allergic reactions.

* Sodium lauryl sulfate and ammonium lauryl sulfate are common causes of eye irritation. They can also damage hair follicles. When absorbed into the body from continuous contact
they can bring on asthma attacks.

* Synthetic fragrances contain hundreds of chemicals
some of which have been known to cause headaches
dizziness
rash
hyperpigmentation
coughing and vomiting.

*The National Toxicology Program found that applying diethanolamine to a mouse's skin induced liver and kidney cancer. DEA is readily absorbed through the skin and can also be toxic to the brain.

But before you decide to never wash your hair again
Blinc Inc. is simplifying consumer education by consolidating official government research on questionable ingredients found in many shampoos
conditioners and body washes.

The company's philosophy of "Why take a chance?" means there are no controversial ingredients in its haircare products. They are 99.8 percent vegetable derived and as close to natural as possible while effectively cleansing without causing irritation to eyes or skin or damaging hair.
