1. What is keratin treatment & formaldehyde risks?

Keratin smoothing treatments have become one of the most requested — and controversial — salon services globally[1]. Many formulations contain formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing substances (methylene glycol) at levels that can exceed occupational exposure limits during heat activation. The EU limits formaldehyde in cosmetics to 0.2% (as preservative); OSHA sets a permissible exposure limit of 0.75 ppm TWA[2].
