Batiste Dry Shampoo in Bare 200ml, Barely Scented Light Fragrance, No Rinse Spray to Refresh Hair in Between Washes

Product Information

The supply chains that bring consumers their grooming products are complex, globe-spanning endeavors, making it difficult to determine precisely where the toxins are introduced. Some of these ingredients are completely safe (lavender, for example, is on the list), while others (like phthalates) are known toxins. Consumers deserve to know what’s in the products they buy, and for this reason, we almost never recommend products with “fragrance” listed on the ingredients (with the exception being if the brand actually makes those fragrance ingredients publicly available and they are indeed safe). You can read more about this fragrance loophole problem here. This has many readers asking us: what about Batiste?! Is this popular dry shampoo brand a part of the recall? Does Batiste contain benzene? Is it safe to use? Is it safe to use? – As the article states, we don’t recommend using Batiste as the safest dry shampoo. Since it’s an aerosol, it’s more likely to contain benzene, but even more than that, it contains fragrance and several other ingredients (listed above) that aren’t entirely safe.

Benzene is a known carcinogen, most specifically linked to leukemia. P&G sums it up pretty well in their statement: Benzene, which is at the center of the Batiste Dry Shampoo Class Action Settlement, is a well known odorless, and colorless chemical. Prolonged exposure to benzene carries serious health risks and consequences. Thus, the CDC and FDA recommend that consumers be aware of ingesting or consuming benzene in products, as well as the environment. For more about benzene, read the CDC's fact sheet on the chemical here. There is also an ongoing voluntary recall for certain dry shampoo products like Dove, Tresemme, Suave, Nexxus, and other dry shampoos and conditioners produced by Unilever that may contain benzene. the individual using the product (some people are much more sensitive to these ingredients than others)Yes. Valisure tested many different kinds of Batiste dry shampoo (including ones like “Bare,”“Floral & Flirty Blush,”“Divine Dark,” and others). Benzene was found in almost all of them, all the way up to 14.9 part per million (ppm). (The FDA currently has benzene limits set at 2ppm.) Dry shampoo is not a product you use one time and are done with it,” said David Light, CEO of Valisure. “A lot of people use it once a day, or a few times a week.” If you’ve used dry shampoo from haircare line Batiste, you may be able to cash in on an incoming multimillion-dollar settlement.

We’ve reached out to Batiste to ask about this issue, and we’ll update this article if and when they give us an answer! Does Batiste Dry Shampoo Have Aluminum? Is this popular dry shampoo brand a part of the recall? – No, it’s not part of the December 2021 recall nor the October 2022 Unilever recall (in part because Batiste is not owned by either of those companies.) These ingredients can be quite difficult to avoid, but if you’re someone who has extra sensitive skin, you should consider trying to remove them from your regimen to see if it makes a difference for your skin.Dry shampoo is a cosmetic, which the FDA regulates, but not nearly as stringently as it does drugs. No limits Limonene, Linalool, Geraniol: These are iffy ingredients. They’re found naturally in many plants (mostly citrus), but they can also be extracted and made synthetically. These ingredients are classified as irritants, allergens, and sensitizers, but their potential to cause damage depends a lot on: Well, here are the ingredients listed in Batiste’s “Original Classic Clean” dry shampoo: Butane, Isobutane, Propane, Oryza sativa starch, Alcohol denat., Parfum (Fragrance), Limonene, Linalool, Geraniol, Benzyl benzoate, Distearyldimonium chloride, Cetrimonium chloride. Are These Ingredients Bad for You? Butane: Commonly used in aerosol sprays, this is a volatile organic compound ( VOC) and known irritant , meaning it can cause and/or exacerbate respiratory problems and asthma. It is on MADE SAFE’s Banned List and gets a score of 6 on EWG’s Skin Deep database.

We had seen significant amounts of benzene in Unilever products before they went on recall,” Light said, declining to specify amounts. P&G has been making headlines this past week (December 2021 if you’re reading this in the future) by voluntarily recalling 32 of its dry shampoo products because they were found to contain “unexpected levels”of benzene, a known carcinogen. P&G brands affected included Aussie, Hair Food, Herbal Essences, Old Spice, Pantene, and Waterl
