🚨 Heads up to all haircare fans! A popular shampoo and conditioner set has been pulled from shelves due to a chemical scare. The Pilgrim Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner, a go-to for many, has been recalled after it was found to contain Zinc Pyrithione—a no-go ingredient in cosmetic products. 🧴💥
This duo, usually found on Amazon for £12-£20, also snuck in some undeclared allergens like hydroxycitronellal, hexyl cinnamal, and limonene. For those with sensitivities, this could mean unwanted allergic reactions. 🌿🔍
The alert comes directly from the Office for Product Safety and Standards, who flagged this “serious chemical risk.” They’ve ensured the products are not only off Amazon but also stopped at UK borders. 🚫🇬🇧
Those fragrance lovers out there, take note as well! Earlier this month, two well-known designer perfumes—Hello by Lionel Richie and Hot by United Colours of Benetton—were also yanked from Savers Health and Beauty for similar reasons. They contained the banned substance, butylphenyl methylpropional (BMHCA), which could harm reproductive health and cause skin sensitivity. 😲✨
If you’ve got any of these products at home, returning them to the store is your best bet for a full refund. Let’s stay safe and keep our hair and skin happy! 💁♀️💡
