Why Conventional Dry Shampoos Are Toxic (But We're Not!)

Why Conventional Dry Shampoos Are Toxic (But We're Not!)

Dry shampoo is a convenient way to freshen up your hair without washing it, but did you know that many conventional options are hiding a dirty secret? Yep, they're packed with toxic ingredients that can harm your health and the environment..

Here are some of the most common toxic ingredients in dry shampoo:

  • Talc: Talc is a mineral that has been linked to cancer. It can also irritate the lungs and cause respiratory problems.
  • LPGs (Liquid Petroleum Gas): Butane, propane, and isobutane are LPGs that are used in aerosol dry shampoos. These gases can damage the ozone layer and contribute to climate change. They can also irritate the respiratory system and cause headaches and nausea.
  • Phenoxyethanol: A preservative that has been linked to developmental and reproductive problems, as well as cancer.
  • Cetrimonium chloride: A conditioning agent that can irritate the skin and eyes. It can also cause hair breakage.
  • Alcohol: Alcohol can dry out your hair and scalp, leading to dandruff and itchiness.
  • Siloxane, silicones, and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane: Silicones are synthetic ingredients that can coat your hair, making it difficult for it to absorb nutrients and moisture. This can lead to dry, brittle hair.

Okay… Now you may be asking why choose Pure Coast Naturals Dry Shampoo?
