Formaldehyde splitters in cosmetics - Öko-Test tests repair shampoos

In the May 2022 issue, Öko-Test magazine tests a total of 50 so-called repair shampoos for ingredients and contaminants. 25 of the tested products receive at least the grade very or good. Due to the following critical ingredients, there are grade deductions:

- Formaldehyde releasers, such as diazolidinyl urea.
- Silicones and synthetic polymers
- Allergenic fragrances such as isoeugenol
- PEG and PEG derivatives
- Organohalogen compounds
