	"description": "This holiday season we demand retailers to transition to non-toxic beauty! A 2023 report found high levels of formaldehyde in cosmetics and personal care products marketed to people of color. This year, researchers from Washington State Department of Ecology tested for formaldehyde in 40 cosmetic and personal care products marketed to people of color, including lotion, styling gel, and foundation. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen that can cause cancer as well as irritation to the eyes, throat, and lungs. The study found formaldehyde &quot;in seven out of ten skin lotions, nine out of ten leave-in conditioners, and all ten hair styling gels&quot;. Although formaldehyde was not listed in the ingredients of these products, the formaldehyde level in these products was above 200 parts per million (ppm), which is the level known to cause allergic reactions in some people. Carcinogens like formaldehyde, and other toxic chemicals, have no place in products that we use on our skin, in our hair, and in our homes. Communities of color are already overburdened by exposure to pollution and toxic chemicals that harm our health. Despite the known health harms from formaldehyde, companies like Sally Beauty continue to sell products that contain chemicals like formaldehyde. This holiday season, let&#x27;s take action and tell Sally Beauty that hazardous chemicals like formaldehyde don’t belong in the personal care products we use every day! Sally Beauty has thousands of stores around the country, and sells many products marketed toward people of color. And they are one of the major beauty retailers who earns a failing grade in the Retailer Report Card made by our colleagues at Toxic Free Future for continuing to sell toxin-laden products in their stores. We are calling on the CEO of Sally Beauty to do better. It&#x27;s time for them to create a safer chemical policy and ensure the public that they will start to reduce and eliminate toxic chemicals from the products sold in their stores.",
