As far back as 1987 the U.S. EPA classified FORMALDEHYDE as a probable human carcinogen and after more studies the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in 1995, also classified it as a probable human carcinogen. Further information and evaluation of all known data led the IARC to reclassify formaldehyde as a KNOWN HUMAN CARCINOGEN associated with nasal sinus cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer, and possibly with leukemia in June 2004.
As much as I am not for more government and regulation, privately funded studies have also shown the detrimental effects of formaldehyde. People shouldn't be restrained from exercising their free will, but there needs to be a CLEAR study (by gov't, or whomever.. because lets face it gov't isn't going anywhere) telling people the TRUTH about the ingredients in Brazilian Blow Out and the danger present when exposure to them.
The information alone should wake people up to not carry the product. Demand a safer more effective product and more than likely in a few years (or less) one will appear. The smoothing treatments that are formaldehyde free are gaining ground as a wonderful substitute good to the Brazilian Blow Out. This is simple supply and demand... lets create a market demand for a safer product and let innovation and a need for profit take its course!
Care about your health people!
Companies such as Organic Salon Systems ALREADY carry and distribute smoothing treatments that give fantastic results. KeraGreen is a wonderful product that smells like cherries and bananas (don't need a mask to breathe in that welcoming aroma!) and is made with organic ingredients.
