Toxic Chemicals in Shampoos?
Just briefly, the
following is a general description of toxic chemicals found in shampoos:
- PEG PEG
compounds - Any substance abbreviated as "PEG" (Polyethylene Glycol)
or with polyethylene in its chemical makeup is probably contaminated
with 1,4-Dioxane.
1,4-Dioxane produces cancer !!!
- FRAGRANCE Fragrances
are the leading cause of allergies. Artificial fragrances can
be made up of more than 800 individual ingredients, some which are
very toxic, and others that have never been adequately tested.
- PROPYLENE GLYCOL
This ingredient causes allergic problems for some people.
Also, this stuff is antifreeze
!!!
- SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE
SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS)
SODIUM LAURYL ETHER SULFATE (SLES) The Laureth compounds are often
contaminated with carcinogen 1,4-Dioxane. (Carcinogen means
cancer causing.) Stay away from any ingredient that has the
"eth" in its name, it might be contaminated with 1,4-Dioxane.
Also, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a systemic toxin and can cause eye
problems. (Systemic means
"affecting an entire system or body as a
whole") Further, SLS
corrodes the hair follicle and makes hair grow slower !!!
- DICTHANOLAMINE
(DEA) DEA has been shown to be carcinogenic in
experimental studies.
-
triethanolamine (TEA)
- FORMALDEHYDE
This chemical is used as a preservative in many shampoos.
However, Shampoo manufactures are not required to list
'formaldehyde' as an ingredient.
Rather, it is label as
'quaternium-15"
Why do they put
this stuff in shampoos? Because it's cheap... cheap... cheap !!!
...plus, because of all of that thick lather and smells, it looks like you're really getting your money's worth !!!
Sodium Lauryl (Laureth) Sulfate ~
"SLS"
jump to chemical data sheet

Intelligencer, The
Monday, December 26, 1988 Doylestown, Pennsylvania
Sodium Lauryl
Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) is a foaming boaster (anionic surfactant)
and a wetting agent, a common detergent found in shampoos. According to
Journal of the American College of Toxicology, in the report on the
safety of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, notes that this ingredient has a
"degenerative effect on the cell membranes because of its protein
denaturing properties." The journal adds, "high levels of skin
penetration may occur at even low use concentration." Studies
indicate eye health is also a concern. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate keeps
young eyes from developing properly by possibly denaturing the proteins
and not allowing for proper structural formation. (Denature means
"to change the nature or natural qualities of")
SLS comes from coconut
oil (via
commercial processing) and helps make substances foam or lather.
It's a detergent. The same ingredient found
in detergent soaps such as garage floor cleaners and engine
degreasers. According to U.S. government, Material
Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS),
Exposure to SLS can lead to a burning sensation, coughing, wheezing,
laryngitis, headache, nausea, and vomiting, SLS can damage vital
internal organs and wipe-out your immune system, and can result in
blindness, such as cataract formation. See
Wall Street Journal (January 11, 1988)
If that doesn't
sound bad, listen to this !!! By penetrating (via absorption) into the skin, SLS
has been blamed for corroding the hair follicle causing premature hair
loss. And... if your hair isn't falling out by now, this stuff
(via corroding effect on the follicle) causes your hair to grow slower
!!!
SLS is found in
90% of commercial shampoos and conditioners. It's even found in
our toothpaste. Of all places... toothpaste! Why would
they put this stuff in toothpaste???

Wednesday, June 17, 1998 Kingston, Kingston
Okay, I got it! They figure
our eating
habits are sooooo bad they equate our foods with greasy engines and
dirty garage floors. They figure we need that industrial strength
SLS stuff to make our teeth feel really-really clean. Makes sense to me :-)
SLS Overview
A study done
at the Medical College of
Georgia has shown:
(Summary of Report
of
Research to Prevent Blindness,
Inc. conference)
SLS can cause cataracts in
adults and delays the healing of wounds in the surface of the cornea
SLS builds
up in the heart, liver, lungs and brain and can cause major problems
in these areas
SLS causes
skin to flake and to separate and causes substantial roughness on
the skin
SLS causes
dysfunction of the biological systems of the skin
SLS is such
a caustic cleanser that it actually corrodes the hair follicle and
impairs its ability to grow hair.
SLS is
routinely used in clinical studies to deliberately irritate the skin
so that the effects of other substances can be tested.
(I don't
know if both reports came from the same source or individual studies.
I will find out! -webmaster)
A report
from the Journal of the American College of Toxicology; Vol. 2, No. 7,
1983 states:
-
SLS is
routinely used in clinical studies to irritate skin tissue.
-
SLS corrodes
hair follicle and impairs ability to grow hair.
-
Carcinogenic
Nitrates can form when SLS interacts with other nitrogen bearing
ingredients.
-
SLS enters
and maintains residual levels in the heart, liver, lungs and brain
from skin contact. (Shampoos?)
-
SLS
denatures protein, impairs proper structural formation of young eyes
- damage permanent.
-
SLS can
damage the immune system; cause separation of skin layers and cause
inflammation to the skin.
Carcinogenic 1,4-Dioxane
The U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has conducted surveys of cosmetic raw
materials and finished products for the presence of 1,4-Dioxane since
1979. According to the 2001 report from the FDA own researchers,
"1,4-Dioxane was found at levels up to 279 ppm (parts per million) in
cosmetic finished products." The researchers add, Levels of
1,4-Dioxane in excess of 85 ppm in children's shampoos indicate that
continued monitoring of raw materials and finished products is
warranted."
According to the
National Toxicology Program studies, the chemical 1,4-Dioxane has
induced cancer in both sexes of rats and both sexes of mice.
According to the
Consumer Product Safety Commission, the presence of 1,4-Dioxane, even a
trace contaminant, is cause for concern.
Carcinogenic DEA-based compounds
According to a
1998 report from the federal National Toxicology Program, two DEA-based
compounds, Cocamide DEA and Lauramide DEA, have been
demonstrated to be cancer causing in at least one species of animal.
(DEA is also known as Diethanolamine)
Estrogenic preservative alkyl-hydroxy-benzoate
Alkyl-hydroxy-benzoate,
Alkyl-hydroxy-paraben, and Alpha-hydroxy-benzonate, Ethyl-paraben are used as a preservative in shampoos. The following
prefixes are related to this preservative:
- methyl-
- ethyl-
- propyl-
- butyl-
|
These on the
left are
known as
"Parabens" |
|
They inhibit
microbial growth and extend product's shelf life. |
These
compounds are allergenic and estrogenic. (Estrogenic means
"relating to or caused by estrogen.") Researchers concluded that,
"Given their
use in a wide range of commercially available topical preparations, it
is suggested that the safety in use of these chemicals should be
reassessed..."
|
Material Data Safety Sheet (MSDS)
According to United
States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at
29 CFR part 1910.1200,
a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document obtained or developed
for each hazardous chemical produced, imported or used by chemical
manufacturers or importers. The MSDS informs workers and emergency
personnel with the proper procedures for handling or working with a
particular substance.
Propylene Glycol ~ Antifreeze?
jump to
chemical data sheet
Propylene Glycol
is another chemical commonly found in shampoos. Now get this...
it's used in antifreeze !!! In fact, it's used
as antifreeze !!! Yea, antifreeze... the same stuff used in your car's coolant.
The same stuff used in airplane's deicing fluids !!! It's also
used in...
Propylene Glycol
is a clear odorless water-retaining liquid produced by the hydration
of propylene oxide.

A surfactant
is a "substance capable of reducing the surface tension of a
liquid in which it is dissolved." In other words-
it's a detergent.
Types of
Surfactants
(Comparative
surfactant toxicity followed the general order 1-4):
-
Cationic a positively charged (ionized)
surfactant
-
Anionic a negatively charged (ionized) surfactant
-
Nonoinic no charge to the surfactant
-
Amphoteric
a negatively and positively charged
surfactant.

Nitrate Absorption
The nitrate
absorption occurs when SLS becomes contaminated with NDELA (N-nitrosodiethanolamine)
during processing. This contamination comes about as a result of
SLS coming into contact with any number of chemicals including
Triethanolamine (TEA), which is a commonly used ingredient in
shampoos. In other words, for example:
SLS + TEA= NDELA
NDELA is a
nitrosamine and a recognized carcinogen !!!

Artificial Fragrances
Most
fragrances are synthesized from petroleum products. They are
artificial. They make you think your smelling something
wonderful. When in fact, you are smelling a combination of
synthetic, volatile chemicals or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). These chemicals are
"volatile" because they are actually releasing fumes.
Fragrances
(identified as 'Parfum' in the EU; 'Fragrance' in the USA) are the leading cause of allergies. Artificial fragrances can
be made up of more than 600-800 individual ingredients, or any combination
thereof, some which are
very toxic, and others have never been adequately tested.
The fragrance industry is self-regulated. Which means, tests do
not reflect any damaging results.

-
Stay away from
solvents !!! Solvents such as Isopropyl alcohol, Propylene
glycol, and Butylene glycol will penetrate your skin and breakdown the
skin's intercellular mortar, making your skin sag.
-
Stay away from
synthetic fragrances !!! Synthetic fragrances can
irritate the skin and strip away it's natural protection.
Synthetic fragrances have been known to cause headaches, dizziness,
rashes, asthrnatic complications, etc..
-
Stay away from
synthetic color pigments !!! Synthetic pigments can often be
carcinogenic (cancer causing.)
-
Stay away from
preservatives !!! Preservatives such as DMD, Hydantion,
Imidaxolidinyl urea, and Phenoxyetyhanol, will release trace amounts
of formaldehyde into the skin, resulting in a toxic effect at cellular
level.
-
Stay away from
talc powder !!! Talc powder can increase the risk of a
certain type of ovarian cancer. Use corn starch in place of talc
powder.
Chemicals, such as these, can soak into the skin
and accumulate over time, eventually causing health problems !!!
