The product I use and decided to look up on the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database is White Rain Hair Spray, which I use to hold my beautiful fauxhawk in place. The health concern for this product was moderate. The fragrance had a large impact on this score, as it got an 8/10 on the hazard scale. The rest of the ingredients had relatively low hazard ratings, none going over 2. They all pretty much said the only concerns would be if you got them into your eyes, mouth, etc. you would become very irritated. I was pretty happy to find out I wasn't really exposing myself to anything too dangerous that would put my health in danger at all, such as cancer causing agents or anything of that nature. As long as I am careful not to get any of the product in my eyes, inhale it, or get any where it may irritate me I will simply continue to use this product. Right now I am being responsible with product use because I just got my head shaved short, so with less hair I don't have to use any styling product or as much shampoo and conditioner.
My face wash product, that I looked up, was similar to this. It also had a the largest hazard score for fragrance with an 8.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that would concern me is inhaling it. I remember several accounts when my mom would go crazy spraying her hair spray only get her hair actually once or twice, but anyways I would inhale it all the time and I'm sure she did too. Not saying that you go crazy with it but I feel like hair spray has such a strong odor that it's difficult not to inhale it. It's good that you are using less product, sometimes I wish I could shave my head haha!
