Benzene is a chemical that scientists identified as dangerous to humans over a century ago, and its presence in dry shampoo is unusual. According to a 1939 study published in The Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology, researchers noted that "exposure over a long period of time to any concentration of benzene greater than zero is not safe." The U.S. F DA currently states that 2 parts per million (ppm) of benzene is the acceptable daily limit for humans. In Valisure's tests, one dry shampoo brand emitted nearly 160 ppm in a single spray. With that much benzene concentration, just five sprays could contain one's yearly recommended exposure to the chemical.

I can easily get their entire shampoo and conditioner line at my local grocery store, which is fantastic! Moving onto skin care, I’ve been using their Seriously Soothing SPF Day creamfor a few months now, and I can safely say that I love it! It got me through the summer months with little to no sunburns on my face, which I’m very thankful for!Absolutely! But it goes without saying that you shouldn’t blindly trust a company and its practices. Many of us take great pride in caring for our hair—and sometimes we care just a little too much. Over-washing strips our hair of its natural oils, and in turn causes extra oiliness and irritation. But thank goodness for dry shampoo.
