personal care products

new study shows 27% of all products tested have more than 2ppm of benzene in the product. some as high as 21ppm. mostly sprays, but also lotions and creams.

So what is benzene, and why should we care?

benzene is a carcenogenic by product from oil that comes from oil wells due to the ingrediants needed to make haircare and skincare products.

Thanks, I'll avoid it, although likely late for me. Still, I dun like leukemia.

Is benzene listed on the label under that or some other name?

heres a new one for me anyway. NEVER EVER get ANY headandsholders in your mouth. itll run down your throat and up your sinus to your frontal lobe. assuming it only got into one side of your mouth.
