Our take
Why It’s on Our Radar
We don't recommend the recalled aerosols. Benzene near the scalp and breathing zone led to a recall and a settlement.
What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Rice-starch dry shampoo driven by butane/isobutane/propane propellants that were the source of the benzene, plus fragrance.
A couple to know — 2 ingredients we flag:
Alcohol Denat. — sometimes listed as Denatured Alcohol
Can be drying; used as a solvent and preservative. Concern depends on concentration.
Fragrance — sometimes listed as Parfum
Undisclosed scent blend that is a common allergen and irritant; choose fragrance-free for sensitive or reactive skin.
