We often pay attention to what we eat and what we put on our skin…
But what about what we put on our scalp?
At Real Earth, we believe in cosmetics that support, rather than interfere.
That’s why today we want to talk to you about a little-discussed but crucial topic:
the chemical ingredients in conventional hair products that act as hormone disruptors.
What are endocrine disruptors?
They are chemicals that can disrupt the hormonal balance in our bodies.
Their effects aren’t immediately noticeable, but with repeated use they build up and can affect important functions such as metabolism, the reproductive system, and even mood.
Which ingredients should you avoid?
Here are some of the most common ones in conventional shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, and dyes:
-
Parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben…): preservatives that mimic estrogen.
-
Phthalates (often hidden in fragrances): found in synthetic perfumes.
-
Triclosan: used as an antibacterial agent, but with a strong hormonal impact.
-
Phenoxyethanol: although less harsh than parabens, it may also have long-term effects.
-
Artificial fragrances: may conceal up to 3,000 substances, many of which are unregulated.
- Synthetic colorants: some are linked to allergies and irritation.
And we’re not just talking about chemical dyes. Many “daily care” products, such as shampoos and hair masks, contain them too.
