PHTHALATES
RATING: BAD
Why is this BAD for me?
Phthalates are a type of chemical that is used in hair care products to make them more spreadable. They help the scent adhere to your hair and scalp. They are endocrine disruptors, which means they can cause girls to reach puberty early and men's sperm counts to drop. They also pose a significant environmental threat.
