So I received my Revivogen Shampoo & Conditioner in the mail yesterday and I've decided to do some research, I found the following ingredients in these two products bad for hair health.
Shampoo:
Methylchloroisothiazolinone/ Methylisothiazolinone:
Edit: Both cause cosmetic allergies.
Cocoamidopropyl Betaine:
Can cause eye and skin irritation.
Conditoner:
Methylchloroisothiazolinone/ Methylisothiazolinone:
Edit: Both cause cosmetic allergies.
Cetrimonium chloride:
These chemicals have a positive electrical charge. They contain a quaternary ammonium group and are often called "quats". These are used in hair conditioners, but originated from the paper and fabric industries as softeners and anti-static agents. In the long run they cause the hair to become dry and brittle. They are synthetic, irritating, allergenic and toxic, and oral intake of them can be lethal.
Dimethicone Copolyol:
Silicone emollients are occlusive - that is they coat the skin, trapping anything beneath it, and do not allow the skin to breathe (much like plastic wrap would do.)
Recent studies have indicated that prolonged exposure of the skin to sweat, by occlusion, causes skin irritation. Some synthetic emollients are known tumour promoters and accumulate in the liver and lymph nodes. They are also non-biodegradable, causing negative environmental impact.
____________________________________________
(These were all found to be toxic after long-term use) I'm unsure just how bad for your hair these ingredient are, the damage may be very small and unnoticeable depending on the amount in the bottle it may not be enough to harm your hair, the fact is that these ingredients are found to be toxic over a long period of use, in what amount would be judged upon how sensitive your scalp and skin is.
So what does this mean? I'm a little shocked at what I've found, these ingredients are listed right on the bottle [batch #101221]. I'm not sure if these are the new ingredients, everything else seems to check out fine, in fact all other ingredients in Revivogen are perfect for hair health.
I'm not saying Revivogen is a bad product or that it doesn't work, I'm simply pointing out some ingredients found to be bad for hair health.
