These Illegal Cancer-Causing Chemicals Were Found in THESE Shampoo Brands!

What's the worst thing you can think of that could happen with shampoo? Suffering an eye burn? Swallowing some by accident? Think again. According to a study carried out by The Center for Environmental Health in Oakland, California, your shampoo could actually be detrimental to your health. The study found that at least 98 popular shampoo brands contained a carcinogen known as cocamide diethanolamine, also known as cocamide DEA. If you're a frequent visitor of this site, you're probably familiar with the dangers of cocamide DEA; we've covered it in the past as it relates to many common beauty products. The issue uncovered by The Center for Environmental Health is so widespread that it's led to four major shampoo manufacturers being served California lawsuits. Cocamide DEA is what makes your shampoo foamy, and the problem with it is that it's a carcinogen. The state of California's Proposition 65 requires manufacturers to warn consumers about the risks associated with certain substances like cocamide DEA. Last year, the state even went as far as to ban it after a study found that it causes cancer in laboratory animals. And it's only not obscure, cheaply made shampoos that contain cocamide DEA; well-known companies like Colgate use the substance in their products. And the FDA has done little, even though cocamide DEA is banned in commercial "health" products.

How To Tell If Your Shampoo Has Cocamide DEA

Here's a list of a few shampoo products that contain cocamide DEA:

• Prell Classic Clean Shampoo
• MG217 Medicated Conditioning Shampoo
• American Crew Classic Daily Shampoo
• Organics by Africa's Best Olive Oil Shampoo
• Palmolive Caprice (Anti-Ceramidas Shampoo)
• Straight Arrow Mane 'n Tail Shampoo
• Ouidad Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo
• Carol's Daughter RUI (Moisturizing Sulfate-Free Shampoo)
• Rusk Brilliance Shampoo
• Vanart Classic Herbal Essence Shampoo

Now, not all products containing cocamide DEA will have the substance's name written out the same way. Look out for these names on the ingredients label of your shampoo:

• Amides
• Coco
• N,N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl)
• Coconut diethanolamide
• Coconut fatty acid diethanol-amide
• Cocoyl deithanolamide
• Ciethanolamide coconut fatty acid condensate

The one thing most of those names have in common is that they sounddangerous. I'm not even entirely sure how to pronounce most of them.

So What Should You Use Instead?

Here's a shampoo you can make with simple ingredients you can actually pronounce, ingredients that are natural and healthy for you. You'll need:

• 1/2 cup of coconut milk
• 2/3 cup Castile soap
• 10-15 drops of your choice of essential oil
• 2 teaspoons of almond oil or olive oil

Mix all of the ingredients in a bottle and shake thoroughly before each use.
