Keratin Treatments Not As Safe As They’re Cracked Up To Be
by CurlStylist on Monday, October 11, 2010
The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently reported that keratin treatments listed as being formaldehyde-free did indeed actually contain formaldehyde, according to their chemical analysis of the treatment.
The product tested was Brazilian Keratin Acai Professional Smoothing Solution, and was labeled “formaldehyde free.”
However, the organization used two separate test methods to analyze the product, and detected formaldehyde concentrations at 8.4% and 8.6% respectively.
Consequently, OSHA’s Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology (CROET) has issued public alerts warning stylists and consumers to use extreme caution when using these treatments and to be cautious.
* CROET recognizes that other brands used for the same purpose may contain hazardous ingredients. CROET encourages further discussion and testing of related products to ensure that stylists and those receiving hair treatments are being accurately informed and protected.
* CROET recommends that all stylists and consumers educate themselves on the cosmetics and personal care products that they are using and seek information about potentially hazardous ingredients from manufacturers and distributors of these products. Users should also consider how the product is to be used, and if an action (such as heating with flat irons) may increase exposure potential.

So is Methylene Glycol also known as Formalin? Is Formalin close in chemical structure to Formaldehyde? I noticed on a few “Formaldehyde Free” Smoothing Product MSDS sheets that list Methylene Glycol in up to a 5% of the formula, others list Methylene Glycol up to 1.5%, which is also “Formaldehyde Free”. So are these formulas truly “Formaldehyde Free”? When I heat my 5% Formalin/Methylene Glycol up with my blowdryer and 450 degree flat iron, am I producing Formaldehyde? I’m confused, I need a manufacturer to set the record straight (no pun intended).
