How Shampoo Might Be Dangerous For Your Health

By Eugene Yeng


If you are wondering why your shampoo can be bad for your health, you are not alone. There are many individuals who see nothing wrong with the ingredients listed on the bottles they read. They believe that it is all a hype to scare people into believe that something as simple as a shampoo can do harm. But more and more people are starting to realize what is taking place.

Can the skin prevent chemicals from entering the body? - To the naked eye, the skin seems impenetrable unless it is cut by something. But, the truth is that skin is a living breathing organ and the largest one of the human body. This is why it is important to be careful of what goes on the skin as it can absorb a number of chemicals into the body.

The scalp is closest to the brain and this is even more reason to be aware of what one is putting in their hair. When these chemicals are placed on the scalp, they can enter the bloodstream and cause a variety of health problems. Sometimes they can cause problems on the outside as well and lead to baldness in some people.

Then she looked at the ingredients listed and decided to do some research. She realized that the chemicals used in the brand she bought caused the problem. This was confusing for her as this bran said that they used natural ingredients when making the product. It just so happens that when she examined further, the natural ingredients listed was close to the bottom of the list. What it made it even worse is that there were only two of them.

This was so strange to her, because on the packaging there was a picture of herbs and fruit. This is what drew here to this particular product. She also realized that many of the names she could not pronounced sometimes was just a scientific way of saying the name of the fruit or herb. But, this caught her off guard.

Another thing to keep in mind is that many of these ingredients are used for other purposes. Some are a product of petroleum that is used to create fuel and other substances. Many of these chemicals are not naturally found in nature and most companies know this. Yet, they would use one or two ingredients found in nature with all of the chemicals to make the consumer feel that they are buying something that is natural.

There are others that have fragrances and colors that are also irritants. She did not even think about this and she hardly wears perfume. She also noticed that other ingredients can cause problems for her on the inside like cancer. This is new to her and now she became really concerned. She decided to stop buying these items as she did not want to become sick because of a shampoo.

Everyone is different and many of the chemicals that are in these shampoos may not have the same effect on one person as they would on another. At the same time they are still chemicals and should be treated as such and not ignored because they are in a form that is pleasant to the consumer. We also have to think about what happens when these chemicals get into the water supply and how this will affect everyone else.
