Dr. Helm acknowledged that it is difficult to find hair care products that don’t include fragrance. She recommends the use of products made from plants or organic ingredients, and she pointed to a Silver Spring Institute–affiliated app called DetoxMe that offers suggestions about reducing chemical exposure from consumer products.
The study was funded by the Rose Foundation, the Goldman Fund, and Hurricane Voices Breast Cancer Foundation. The authors report no relevant disclosures.
