Formaldehyde unsafe as used in hair straighteners, CIR Says!

~ Joseph Kellner

After months of polemics over the safety of hair straighteners containing high concentrations of formaldehyde, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel (CIR), classified formaldehyde and methylene glycol as “unsafe under present conditions of use” in these products.

The CIR Expert Panel gathers scientists, dermatologists, pharmacologists and toxicologists, under the aegis of the U.S. Personal Care Products Council, with the mission to independently and scientifically assess the safety of ingredients used in cosmetics in the U.S. The Panel assessed the safety of formaldehyde and methylene glycol at the request of FDA, The Real Hair Truth, and the Personal Care Products Council  after a succession of safety alerts regarding hair straightening treatments with high formaldehyde levels.

The Expert Panel noted that the safety of methylene glycol and formaldehyde in hair straightening products depends on a number of factors, including the concentration of formaldehyde and methylene glycol, the amount of product applied, the temperature used during the application process, and the ventilation provided at the point of use. The Panel concluded that under present practices of use and concentration, formaldehyde and methylene glycol are unsafe in hair straightening products. “In no case should the formalin [1] concentration exceed 0.2% (w/w), which would be 0.074% (w/w) calculated as formaldehyde or 0.118% (w/w) calculated as methylene glycol,” said the CIR.

“CIR reached its conclusion after a comprehensive review of the available safety data and information and a robust discussion of this difficult and complex issue. We support the panel’s findings,” said Jay Ansell, Council scientist and vice president of cosmetic programs at the Personal Care Products Council.

The panel also concluded that formaldehyde and methylene glycol are safe for use as a preservative in cosmetics at minimal effective concentration levels and that do not exceed established limits and are safe in nail hardening products in the present practices of use and concentration (1 – 2%). However, the Panel did note that “the present practices of use of nail hardeners do include instructions that admonish users to limit application of the material to the nail, allow it to dry fully, and to not get the material on the skin.”

It is now up to the FDA to decide whether or not to restrict the use of these substances in cosmetic products placed on the US market.

If you are a salon and use Keratin Complex by Coppola (COPOMON enterprises) you can purchase your salon service or make your order on STYLEBELL.COM . It’s so nice to see a penalized company in the Beauty industry sell there products that you buy and breath on the internet. Maybe you will think twice about buying this product and providing the service in your salon. Since the manufacturer sells the service to the commercial sector. I guess it is no different from Clairol, Loreal hair color for the professional. And their hair color they sell in the stores. Gotta cover all your financial bases. Dont we?

Keratin Complex by Coppola, Global Keratin, Liquid Keratin, BioNaza, Manufacturers are selling out your service’s to the consumer!

~ Joseph Kellner

 

In my last documentary the highlight was manufacturer diversion, and believe it or not it is true. But to see company’s selling out your services to the commercial sector or retail. That to me is a kick in the teeth to all the professionals in my industry. If you go to the website STYLEBELL.COM you will find a list of So-Called Keratin treatments being sold without the need of a professional license. And these are companys whoo sell there products to YOU to use on your clients, but will also sell to the commercial sector for added income. Would you use a product line that is sold to the commercial sector. Loreal sells boxed haircolor on the shelves of every Walmart, CVS, WALGREENS, But you will use there professional line of haircolor, So what is the difference here? FREE ENTERPRISE. Thats it!

Unnique Keratin Treatment - Free Shipping over $50

Unnique states on the mission statement on there website “Unnique Beauty Corporation is a company dedicated especially to enhance the beauty in every woman, which is the main motive for our professional hair care line. What is considered PROFESSIONAL? Is it for the Professional beauty industry? I will have to ask my webmaster that question!

“We really need to take control of our industry. The fact that there are sites that sell professional in salon service treatments without even asking for our license verification means only one thing.  The people who are asking us to pay and take their classes do not really care who they sell their products or treatments to.. They are taking our credibility and undermining our profession.  We need to stop this madness we need to let these people know we will not tolerate playing both sides of the fence.  They either support us or they do not.  Please make up My mind”.
