Kerastase Shampoo Review: Rating 2.1/10 Rated A Highly Toxic Hair Care Product in the Shampoo Category in the 2006 Natural Hair Care Product Review Cancer Proven  | Cancer Link  | Reproductive Toxins  | Safety Violation  | Penetration Agent  | Untested Chemicals  | Harmful Toxins  | Animal Tested  | Fragrance/ Allergen  | Propylene Glycol  | Sodium Lauryl Sulfate  | Misleading Advertising  | Introduction Kerastase Shampoo is a highly toxic hair care product. This product's official name is Kerastase Nutritive Bain Satin Nutrition 3 Shampoo. Positives? In a word, none. Having a French sounding name (owned by L'Oreal) Kerastase may seem sophisticated and elitist. However, I seriously doubt that anyone with more than a few brain cells on active duty would use this product. Because, as you will soon discover Kerastase uses many known hazardous chemicals in their products. Negatives The Kerastase Shampoo is quite literally a chemical soup with many of the ingredients never even tested for safety according to the C.I.R. - Cosmetic Ingredient Review. The chemicals that are certified by the C.I.R have been tested on animals. Cancer Linkage This product contains these highly toxic ingredients, POLYQUATERNIUM-10, DMDM HYDANTOIN which has been linked to cancer in animal tests. Penetration Enhancers Also present are penetration enhancers: SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE These agents work to infiltrate the skin membrane - i.e. penetration enhancer - and in doing so may increase exposures to carcinogens. Untested Chemicals Kerastase Nutritive Bain Satin Nutrition 3 Shampoo contains chemicals that have not been assessed for safety in cosmetic formulas by the C.I.R. These chemicals are: DISODIUM COCOAMPHODIACETATE, COCAMIDE MIPA, SODIUM METHYLPARABEN, DISODIUM RICINOLEAMIDO MEA SULFOSUCCINATE, TARTARIC ACID. Fragrance Of concern to sensitive people is the presence of - the vaguely termed - FRAGRANCE. This is an unspecified mixture of chemicals commonly used throughout the industry that have been linked to immune and nervous system toxicity. Parabens Kerastase Nutritive Bain Satin Nutrition 3 Shampoo also contains PARABENS: methylparaben and propylparaben, chemicals that have been recently linked to breast cancer in women. This study was reported by the BBC Sunday 11 January 2004. Recommendation My advice is this, Don't Believe The Hype or the slick marketing by Kerastase. Stay away from Kerastase Nutritive Bain Satin Nutrition 3 Shampoo. If you use it now I strongly urge you to throw it in the trash. Don't fill the coffers of a mega corp that KNOWINGLY uses toxic ingredients in their so called skin care products. Vote with your wallet and maybe L'Oreal in time will learn not to put their customer's health at risk.
