🚨 Urgent Alert: Check Your Shampoo! 🚨
Attention all hair care enthusiasts! A popular shampoo and conditioner set has been urgently pulled from shelves due to safety concerns. If you’ve recently bought the Pilgrim Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Set, stop using it now!
The issue? The set contains Zinc Pyrithione, a chemical no longer allowed in cosmetic products across the EU, due to concerns about its potential effects on reproduction and the environment. Though it’s great at fighting dandruff, the EU has totally banned its use, effective since March 2022.
Why the fuss? Zinc Pyrithione is harmful to fish and aquatic life when it washes down the drain and can cause skin irritations, redness, and even eye irritation if it gets in your eyes.
What’s even more alarming is that the products also contain undeclared allergens: hydroxycitronellal, hexyl cinnamal, and limonene, leading to potential allergic reactions for those with sensitive skin.
Want to stay dandruff-free without Zinc Pyrithione? Look for these alternatives:
– **Ketoconazole:** A top antifungal choice.
– **Selenium Sulfide:** Effective but has a bit of an odour.
– **Salicylic Acid:** Perfect for exfoliating those flakes away.
– **Piroctone Olamine:** Europe’s go-to alternative.
If you purchased these products from Amazon, be sure to check the codes: B0D5DBM7G7 (shampoo) and B0D5D9BF3Q (conditioner). The brand’s products typically sell for £12-£20, so make sure to identify and avoid them.
Safety first! Keep your bathroom shelves free from these risky products and share this update with friends to ensure everyone stays safe and sound. 🛡️💧
