Ladies and gentlemen, we used to think that the worst thing our shampoo could do is to burn our eyes. But, we were wrong. A recent study has shown that’s nothing compared to the ingredients found in shampoos and soaps in almost 100 different brands.
The Center for Environmental Health based in Oakland, California, performed a study on shampoos and soaps, and the results are SHOCKING! They’ve found that 98 included a possible carcinogen known as cocamide diethanolamine (cocamide DEA). Take a look at the article below and find out more about this.
Here’s what you need to know – the chemical, cocamide diethanolamine (cocamide DEA), a chemically-modified form of coconut oil used as a thickener or foaming agent in many products, was listed by California as a known carcinogen last year.
CEH filed a California lawsuit against four companies that sell products containing cocamide DEA, and the nonprofit has sent legal notices to more than 100 other companies that produce and/or sell cocamide DEA-tainted products (foam stabilizer, shampoos and soaps) that their products violate state law.
Proposition 65, in the Laws of state California, requires manufacturers to warn consumers over the risks of certain substances, like cocamide DEA. Cocamide DEA is on that list because it is a suspected carcinogen and it was banned in the state last year after a study found it caused cancer in laboratory animals.
I really think that you’ll br surprised when we tell you that products tested with high levels of cocamide DEA include shampoos made by Colgate, Palmolive, Colomer, Paul Mitchell, Prell and many others.
In addition, products marketed for children, such as a shampoo/conditioner from Babies R Us and a product falsely labeled as organic were found with the chemical, in violation of California law. Other store brand products that contain the carcinogen came from Trader Joe’s, Walmart, and Kohl’s.
The UGLY truth – the manufacturers can put any toxic chemical they want into shampoos because the FDA allows them to put all sorts of chemicals in their products, including chemicals that are known carcinogens and that contribute to liver failure and nervous system disorders.
Ladies and gentlemen, this means one thing – you should stop using these cancer-causing shampoos, and try this natural alternative instead (recipe below). This homemade natural shampoo is very simple and easy to make. You just have to follow the simple instructions. Here’s what you need to do:
You’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2/3 cup Castile soap
- 10-15 drops essential oil of your choice
- 2 teaspoons almond oil or olive oil
Follow the simple instructions:
- Pour all the ingredients (mentioned above) in an empty bottle.
- Mix well.
NOTE: shake it before you use it.
