Hair volume is a concern for everyone in daily life, and even in order to make their hair thicker, they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money on maintenance, replacing various shampoos, hoping to make it better, but what everyone did not expect is that one day they will be "backstabbed" by shampoos, and even there are "carcinogens" hidden in it......
A well-known product
In 2017, shampoos such as "Head & Shoulders, Pantene, and Sassoon" were all detected to contain carcinogens, which rushed to the hot search of major social platforms, and for a time it also caused heated discussions among countless melon-eating netizens, after all, these shampoos are very common in daily life, and they are also a kind of frequent use by many consumers.
But there are also careful netizens who found that these shampoos are all from the same company - "Procter & Gamble", and then relevant departments evaluated 60 shampoos of "Procter & Gamble", and found that among these shampoos, 38 shampoos were detected to contain certain carcinogens --- "dioxane".
Among them, there are seven products that exceed the safety standards of the European Union, such as the well-known "Sassoon, Pantene, Helen Sendos", etc., the content of these shampoos is basically between 12ppm and 24ppm, while the maximum content recommended by the EU is only 10ppm.
When the matter was exposed, the manufacturers of the relevant brands also immediately stood up to clarify, they said that they did not add any "dioxane" to the shampoo in the production process, and the relevant departments in the shampoo, the "dioxane" tested may be a small amount of impurities in the production process, there is no way to avoid it......
But in the end, they also said that everyone can continue to use products that meet the standards, and the company will strictly monitor these unqualified shampoos, and at the same time reduce the "dioxane" content of the corresponding shampoos.
What everyone didn't expect was that the response of "Procter & Gamble" made everyone unexpected, they said that the "dioxane" content of their shampoo did not exceed the standard, because compared with other countries, the mainland's standard for the content of "dioxane" in products is 30ppm.
It is also a relatively broad standard, and part of the reason may be related to the domestic production level at that time, and then "Procter & Gamble" also said that in daily life, chicken, shrimp, tomatoes, etc. contain trace amounts of "dioxane", so cosmetics containing trace amounts of "dioxane" will not cause harm to human health.
Later, a reporter contacted the doctor in the hospital, hoping to listen to some professional advice, and the doctor said that people with hair loss should use it with caution, because "dioxane" is a "by-product" produced in the production process, and because of the limited technical means at that time, it also led to the precipitation of "dioxane" and remained in the product.
As for the problem of "dioxane" in shampoos, it has actually appeared a long time ago......
Problems that have arisen for a long time
In 2014, when the e-commerce platform rose, many people liked the feeling of online shopping, because online shopping is very convenient, you can choose directly on the mobile phone, don't go to the supermarket to see, and the price of online shopping is much cheaper than the supermarket.
But then a series of product problems began to appear, in real life, many netizens after buying the shampoo on the Internet, there were symptoms such as itchy scalp, allergies, and even rashes, and then complained to the relevant departments, saying that they may have bought fakes, and the relevant departments immediately organized personnel to investigate the matter.
I bought eight bottles of shampoo online, and after the most basic testing, it was found that among the eight bottles of shampoo, three bottles of shampoo were fake, and there was no way to determine the authenticity of two bottles, and the remaining three bottles were real.
In April 2013, local authorities in Jiangsu Province cracked a similar case and arrested a man who was peddling fake shampoo in a van, and later learned after interrogation that the man and his wife ran two shops in the mall.
Adhering to the idea of "bigger and stronger, and create brilliance", then in 2011, two outlets were opened on the Internet, both sides of the same time, selling all kinds of inferior cosmetics, when the matter was exposed, the sales scope of the two stores has been summarized in nearly 30 provinces, and the amount of counterfeit washing and chemical goods sold has reached more than 3 million.
Then the relevant departments found the source of the production of goods, after entering is also surprised, the production environment of the scene is very bad, the formula of the material is very simple, a group of workers with tools similar to a big shovel, the raw materials are put into a large pot, and then into a simple heating and cooling can be out of the pot.
Even in order to make their fake shampoo look more realistic, they also used illegal means to obtain the formula of the genuine shampoo, and then according to the raw materials on the formula, they used inferior raw materials to match, and then blended to create a similar taste, and even achieved the point that it can be fake.
Afterwards, according to the members of the relevant departments, the inferior chemicals they use will seriously affect people's health, and even make people carcinous.
The most serious impact is still pregnant women, if it is used for a long time, it will cause the child in the womb to be "stillborn", or directly cause symptoms such as miscarriage.
Give you three suggestions, can help you buy shampoo, a look, look at the outer packaging of the product, whether the bottle is smooth, whether the handwriting is clear, two smells, the real shampoo exudes a fragrant taste, counterfeit is a pungent fragrance, three rubbing, the real shampoo is more viscous, you can pick out a little with your hands, slowly rub it to open whether it can be drawn.
The viscosity of fake shampoos is very poor, and it cannot achieve the effect of brushing, and sometimes it even appears "jelly".
