Let’s have a little heart-to-heart about something super important for your luscious locks—non-toxic ingredients in hair care products. You know we’re all about keeping things fresh, fun, and fabulous, right? Well, let’s dive into some juicy info about why what’s in your shampoo bottle really matters.
The Scoop on the OGX Lawsuit
So, here’s the tea: Johnson & Johnson has been hit with some serious lawsuits over their OGX line of shampoos and conditioners. These products were supposed to make your hair look like a million bucks, but it turns out they might be doing the opposite. They’ve been accused of sneaking in some nasty chemicals like formaldehyde and DMDM hydantoin that can cause hair loss. Yikes! Also, their other hair prodcuts such as dry shampoo, "In summary, the lawsuit alleges that Defendants’ OGX dry shampoo products containing benzene are not only illegal to sell but also pose health risks to consumers due to their carcinogenic nature, and that Defendants failed to adequately disclose this information on the product labels." (lawsuit information center, Miller, V Ronald)
What’s the Big Deal About These Chemicals?
1. Formaldehyde: This is a big no-no. It’s a known carcinogen (yep, it can cause cancer) and an allergen that can make your skin go haywire. Definitely not something you want near your scalp!
2. DMDM Hydantoin: This sneaky preservative releases formaldehyde over time. It’s meant to keep products fresh, but it can also lead to hair loss and irritating scalp issues. Double yikes!
Johnson & Johnson’s (Not So) Great Moves
Even though J&J knew these ingredients were harmful, they kept them in the OGX products until 2021. Can you believe it? They had promised to clean up their act years ago but didn’t follow through for these products.
