Are You Paying A Heavy Price To Maintain Your Gorgeous Hair?

What Are Parabens?

Parabens are a family of chemicals commonly used as preservatives in cosmetics and personal care products such as makeup, moisturizers, hair care products, toothpaste, and shaving products. 

How Are Minority Women At Risk?

One reason for the increased cancer risks in minority women is because more of their hair and personal hair products contain paraben. Additionally, fewer paraben-free products are marketed to minority women.

A study of Black hair products found that 84% of the chemicals detected were not listed on the ingredient label.

“Fragrance” is a classic example: this can refer to a wide variety of chemicals, but the FDA does not require companies to disclose which ones because they are considered a “trade secret.” A 2010 study of 17 fragrance products found 14 undisclosed ingredients per product on average, some of which were endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs).

A 2021 National Library of Medicine study found frequent users of hair straighteners/relaxers (more than 4 times a year) was associated with twice the risk of ovarian cancer compared to those who never used the products.
