Suave Shampoo Review: Rating 1.2/10 Rated A Highly Toxic Hair Care Product in the Shampoo Category in the 2006 Natural Skin 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 Suave Shampoo is a highly toxic hair care product. This product's official name is Suave Professionals Shampoo. The parent company Unilever had sales of 49.9 billion dollars in 2004. In the interests of disclosure this corporate behemoth was recently involved in a mercury scandal. Positives? There is nothing positive about this product according to the ingredient label. The Suave Professionals Shampoo does not meet any natural ingredient parameter. In fact, if you were to inject this chemical cocktail into someone's bloodstream you would be locked up. I do not say this lightly, as there are penetration agents - PROPYLENE GLYCOL - in this product that enables it to pass into your bloodstream unhindered. Negatives The Suave 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, DMDM HYDANTOIN, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE which have been linked to cancer in animal tests. Reproductive Toxicity This product contains one ingredient - ETHANOL - linked to reduced fertility and a reduced chance for a full term healthy pregnancy. Penetration Enhancers Also present are penetration enhancers: PROPYLENE GLYCOL, TETRASODIUM EDTA. These agents work to infiltrate the skin membrane - i.e. penetration enhancer - and in doing so may increase exposures to carcinogens. Untested Chemicals Suave Professionals Shampoo contains chemicals that have not been assessed for safety in cosmetic formulas by the C.I.R. These chemicals are: CITRIC ACID, SORBITOL, MATRICARIA RECUTITA (GERMAN CHAMOMILE) EXTRACT, SEAWEED EXTRACT, ALOE BARBADENSIS (ALOE VERA) GEL, FD&C RED 40, D&C YELLOW 10, HYDROLYZED KERATIN, AMMONIUM CHLORIDE, PEG-5 COCAMIDE, AMMONIUM XYLENE-SULFONATE, AWAPUHI (WHITE GINGER) EXTRACT, LAWSONIA INERMIS (HENNA) EXTRACT, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) OIL, ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS (ROSEMARY) EXTRACT, GLYCERIN, ETHANOL. 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. Recommendation My advice is this, Don't Believe The Hype or the slick marketing by Unilever. Stay away from Suave Professionals Shampoo. If you use it now I strongly urge you to throw it in the trash. Don't fill the coffers of a multi-national that KNOWINGLY uses toxic ingredients in their so called skin care products. Vote with your wallet and maybe Unilever in time will learn not to put their customer's health at risk.
