Luscombe about a commonly used chemical ingredient called
cocamide DEA that is known to cause cancer in animals yet is
still used in many everyday products including shampoo and

Our
recommendation? Next time you’re in the shower have a look
at the label of your hair and body products and make sure
they’re free of this
