Seven out of 10 dry shampoos still on grocery store shelves contain detectable levels of a cancer-causing chemical \u2014 despite recent recalls of dozens of popular brands.<\/p>\n

Some 70 per cent were positive for evdEn EVe NAKliyaT benzene, a known carcinogen which is strongly linked to leukemia and other blood disorders.Among those that contained the chemical were drug-store brand favorites Batiste and Not Your Mother’s \u2014 alongside premium brands Pureology and Kerastase.<\/p>\n
Benzene levels varied by bottles, but nine were found to have at least 10 times the legal limit.One product \u2014 Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Texturizing Coconut \u2014 had nearly 80 times the threshold.<\/p>\n
