Health Canada publishes latest formaldehyde product warning
Posted By Stephanie Tripp on April 12, 2011
The Canadian health authority has also provided the names of the products that contain unacceptable levels of formaldehyde based on data submitted, and although not tested by Health Canada, they are not permitted for sale in the country.
Levels still a long way off safe
Formaldehyde is permitted as a preservative in cosmetics at levels of no more than 0.2 percent, however HC tests have revealed that Moroccan Hair Treatment by Inoar contains 2.84 percent formaldehyde.
Keratin Complex Express Blowout by Copomon contains unsafe levels of 1.70 percent, whilst Keratin Connection’s Royal Keratin Professional Line was tested at 1.54 percent.
The final two named in the list of tested products that concluded in March this year are Zero (0.76 percent) and Veloce (0.35 percent), both by La Brasiliana.
Three more La Brasiliana products (Original, Domani and Spruzzi) were also named in HC’s not tested list, joined by two by M&M International (Marcia Teixeira Brazil Keratin Treatment and Chocolate De-Frizzing Treatment), and also Pro Skin Solutions’ Brazilian Keratin Treatment.
