Doctor lists dangerous components in shampoo: here are the substances that cause itching
An expert explained which substances in shampoo should alert the buyer.
Allergist-immunologist Elena Paretskaya noted that some of these components can cause unpleasant consequences, including itching and burning.
The doctor emphasized that people prone to allergic reactions should be the first to be attentive. The same rule applies to those with increased sensitivity of the skin.
The doctor indicated that in such cases one should not buy products containing sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, reports the portal “ Doctor Peter ”.
For people with allergies and sensitive skin, such components often cause redness, dryness, itching and burning. Paretskaya advised using sulfate-free shampoos if at least one of the listed symptoms occurs.
The doctor separately listed the components that are unsafe for people suffering from eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. The following substances are undesirable in shampoo for this category:
- hydantoin;
- parabens;
- formaldehydes;
- quaternium;
- imidazolidinyl urea.
The allergist-immunologist noted that shampoos and cosmetics with these substances in their composition can be found more often on the shelves of mass markets. According to the doctor, there are much fewer such products in pharmacies.
