Product Information

Some of these ingredients are completely safe (lavender, for example, is on the list), while others (like phthalates) are known toxins. Consumers deserve to know what’s in the products they buy, and for this reason, we almost never recommend products with “fragrance” listed on the ingredients (with the exception being if the brand actually makes those fragrance ingredients publicly available and they are indeed safe). You can read more about this fragrance loophole problem here. Talc powder is often the main culprit for white casts and chalky buildup in the hair from dry shampoos.

I’ve used it for 2nd, and 3rd-day hair, for pre-workout and post-workout freshen-ups, and to de-lank my roots on days when I decided to skip washing, and the Eva NYC dry shampoo has been to total lifesaver. It can keep my hair fresh for up to 2 days from a single use! However, now that we have the test results from the Valisure independent lab testing, we now know that Batiste does indeed contain benzene. At this time, Batiste still has not been recalled, even though the Valisure petition is calling on the FDA to do a mandatory recall. Although it does an excellent job at cleansing and refreshing the hair, it may cause scalp irritation and potentially fade hair color when used frequently.Valisure tested many other brands as well, including Not Your Mother’s, Garnier Fructis, Redken, and more. In all, they tested 148 unique batches from 34 different brands and found benzene in about 70% of the dry shampoo they tested. You can view the full results of the tests here. In other words: Batiste dry shampoo COULD be cruelty-free, but we can’t be sure that some of their ingredients are not tested on animals. Who Owns Batiste?

This has many readers asking us: what about Batiste?! Is this popular dry shampoo brand a part of the recall? Does Batiste contain benzene? Is it safe to use?
