German company BfR has warned the public to be aware of formaldehyde in hair products.

2011-02-08

On December 3, 2010, the German Federal Institute for Risk Research (BfR) recommended a regulatory crackdown on hair products containing high concentrations of formaldehyde. BfR's research indicates that a free formaldehyde concentration of 1.7% to 1.8% in these hair products may pose a health risk.

Formaldehyde is a strong irritant to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. Furthermore, it can cause allergies and, in severe cases, shock. The British Free Trade Area Rating (BfR) classifies it as a human carcinogen. Recent scientific discussions suggest a possible link between formaldehyde and leukemia. The BfR recommends a safe level of 0.1 ppm for formaldehyde in indoor air. The European Union prohibits the use of formaldehyde in hair products. However, an increasing number of consumers and hairdressers are directly importing or purchasing hair straightening and other hair products from abroad via the internet, significantly increasing the risk of formaldehyde exposure.

It is understood that within the EU, formaldehyde is only approved for use as an active ingredient in nail polish, with a maximum usage of 5%; in cosmetics, its usage as a preservative is limited to 0.2%, and any content of 0.05% must be stated on the label. However, tests on hair straightening products have revealed formaldehyde levels ranging from 1.7% to 1.8%.

BfR recommends that federal state authorities take immediate action to inspect products, such as testing for formaldehyde in hair products, and advising consumers against using such products.
