2020年必學護膚新概念 — Clean Beauty | 美髮產品成分大解構

除了護膚品外,護髮用品包括洗頭水,護髮素等都會每日接觸到肌膚,但很多人都忽視了美髮產品安全的重要性。在開始認識產品前與您仔細分析護髮產品中常見的化學成分,以及對健康、環境的影響。

為自己,為地球,一起做個有意識的消費者!

 

 

近年,坊間許多宣稱無矽的護髮產品,相信大家一定有聽過,但除了矽化合物(Silicones),還有各種化學成分是應該盡量避免的。


十二烷基硫酸鈉(SLS),十二醇聚氧乙烯醚硫酸鈉 (SLES)

SLS, SLES是陰離子表面活性劑,在身體清潔、頭髮清潔和護理用品中通過乳化作用從頭髮和皮膚上除去油脂和污垢。

根據美國化妝品及香品協會的化妝品成分檢討報告,SLS和SLES具刺激性,與皮膚接觸會產生刺激作用。

標籤字眼:

  • Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate
  • Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate
  • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
  • Sodium Salt Sulfuric Acid


精煉石油,凡士林 (Petrolatum, Petroleum Jelly)

石油衍生的石油副產品或凡士林,通常在乳液中用作保濕。但未完全被精製的凡士林有可能會被有害化學物質多環芳烴(PAHs)污染。國際癌症研究機構(IARC)將14種PAHs 列為有機會致癌物質,並將一種PAH列為已知的致癌物。

標籤字眼:

  • Petrolatum·Petroleum Jelly
  • Paraffin Oil
  • Mineral Oil
  • White Petrolatum


滑石(Talc)

某些滑石粉可能含有已知的致癌物石棉,滑石粉通常會用於嬰兒爽身粉或免沖洗洗髮水等個人護理用品,因此,應避免使用含有滑石粉的產品。

標籤字眼:

  • Talcum powder·Talc
  • Magnesium Silicate Talc
  • Talc (MG3H2(SIO3)4)


乙氧基化 (Ethoxylates)

乙氧基化可產生少量的1,4-二噁烷,並在產品中殘留環氧乙烷(Ethylene Oxide)。而環氧乙烷和1,4-二噁烷是兩種可能導致癌症風險的有害污染物。常見於清潔產品例如洗髮水,洗手液。

標籤字眼:

  • PPG
  • PEG
  • Polysorbate
  • Laureth
  • Steareth
  • Ceteareth
  • 以-eth結尾的成分


乙醇胺化合物 (MEA,DEA,TEA)

許多消費產品包括洗髮劑、護髮素、染料和乳液等產品都存在乙醇胺作為乳化劑。當乙醇胺與某些防腐劑分解成氮時,會形成亞硝胺。國際癌症研究機構已列出了亞硝胺中十多種不同化學物質有可能潛在致癌物。

標籤字眼:

  • Triethanolamine
  • Diethanolamine
  • DEA
  • TEA
  • Cocamide DEA
  • Cocamide MEA DEA

美髮品牌Innersense由一對豐富美容經驗的美國夫婦共同創立,將「無毒」概念延伸到頭髮方面包括洗髮、護髮、噴霧。作為一間通過認證的綠色企業,品牌堅持以可持續方式採取有機認證植物成分製成,所有產品不含SLS,SLES,DEA等15種化學成分(下圖清單),保持你秀髮健康,更照顧你的身體及環境健康。

PHTHALATES: These salts, or ester of phthalic acid, are used to add flexibility and dissolve other ingredients. Phthalates can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled and have been linked to birth defects in the male reproductive system.

ETHOXYLATES: The end result of the ethoxylation process which is the synthesis of a compound containing one or more ethoxyl groups.

SULFATE, SLA, SLES: Sulfates are used in the manufacture of synthetic soaps, detergents, emollient creams and shampoos (like sodium lauryl and laureth sulfate). Sulfates are harmful to marine life and the environment. They can cause allergic reactions and dry skin and hair. They are also an eye irritant.

BETAINES: These are naturally derived surfactants, but synthetically processed. It is used as a foam booster in shampoos.

ARTIFICIAL COLOR AND FRAGRANCE: Proven to be the most prevalent sensitizers (cause of allergic reactions or chemical sensitivities) in cosmetic preparations.

PEG-8 (POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL): This synthetic detergent is on the fda’s list of suspected carcinogens. According to the fda it is “highly allergenic.”

PEG COMPOUNDS: These synthetic plant glycols are used as binders, solvents, emollients, plasticizers, bases, carriers, emulsifiers and dispersants. They cause many allergic reactions. Peg compounds may contain the carcinogenic contaminant, dioxane.

PEG, DEA, MEA, TEA, OR EDTA COMPOUNDS: These are synthetic surfactants used in soaps and many shampoos. These ingredients are allergenic, and may also be contaminated with nitrosamines, a potent class of carcinogens. They’re on the FDA’s list of suspected carcinogens.

PETROCHEMICALS: Made from petroleum or “crude oil,” petrochemicals include some of the most valuable medical and industrial substances ever known.

POLYSORBATE 20: This ingredient is treated with 20 parts of ethylene oxide that becomes contaminated with 1,4-dioxane.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL: A neurotoxin, this petroleum-derived humectant, surfactant, solvent, and carrier is known to cause contact dermatitis along with a wide variety of allergic reactions.

DEIONIZED WATER: It is essential that water used in cosmetic preparations is sterile to avoid contamination of the product. Deionized water or demineralized water has had almost all of its mineral ions removed. This ingredient is a known carcinogen with links to health issues.

1.4 – DIOXANE OR ETHYLENE OXIDE: These are ethoxylates and a result of the ethoxylation process. Also a known animal carcinogen that penetrates readily into the skin.

FORMALDEHYDE: A suspected carcinogen, this colorless, pungent, irritating substance is found in many preservatives, such as quaternium-15, the hydantoins and ureas, and surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate.

GMOS: Genetically modified organisms that have had its dna altered or modified in some way through genetic engineering.

GLUTEN: A general name for the proteins found in wheat (wheat berries, durum, emmer, semolina, spelt, farina, farro, graham), rye, barley and triticale – a cross between wheat and rye.

HYDROLYZED ANIMAL PROTEIN: Innersense Organic Beauty products do not contain any animal byproducts. Neither our ingredients or our products are ever tested on animals.

IMIDAZOLIDINYL AND DIAZOLIDINYL UREA: These commonly used preservatives are antiseptic and deodorizing. They have been established by the american academy of dermatology to be primary causes of contact dermatitis (causing adverse reactions such as rashes that can be quite severe). Keep clear of the eye area, as it is an eye irritant.

METHYLCHLOROISOTHIAZOLINONE OR METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE: As an antimicrobial agent, or biocide, mit and related compounds kill harmful bacteria that like to grow near moisture or water. Both cause cosmetic allergies and potential dangerous neurotoxic effects.

PARABENS: A non-irritating food-grade preservative used to control microbial growth in cosmetic preparations. This ingredient is a known toxin.

PHENOXYETHANOL: Phenoxyethanol is a synthetic preservative that’s manufactured using a complex process where phenol is treated with ethylene oxide. Although some companies say this is safe under 2%, we choose to avoid it entirely. <

PROPRIETARY COMPOUNDS OR COMPLEXES: A hiding place for synthetic ingredients to be laced into products. This is a way for manufacturers to add synthetic ingredients without having to disclose what the compound or complex consists of.

Innersense Organic Beauty is proud to be a California Green Business Network company, Certified Leaping Bunny member and compact signer of both the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and Truth In Labeling Acts.
