In a government issued consumer product recall, certain lots of Bed Head TIGI, Dove, and Tresemmé Dry Shampoo products were recalled due to the detection of benzene.

Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen or a substance capable of causing cancer in living tissue. However, based on exposure modeling and the cancer risk assessments published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (IRIS database), daily exposure to benzene in the recalled products at the levels detected in testing would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences.


Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally, and through the skin. It can result in cancers, including leukemia, a blood cancer of the bone marrow, and blood disorders, which can be life-threatening.


As of October 7, 2022, the company has received no report(s) of incidents or injuries related to the use of these products in Canada.


Certain lots or batches of the following dry shampoos may be recalled:


  • Bed Head Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo 6.2 oz/179g, 300mL

Even though these are popular brands, it reminds me how important it is to check the ingredients and safety of products we use regularly. In Vancouver, where skincare and wellness are a big focus, it's crucial to prioritize high-quality, trusted products that align with our health goals. If you’re looking for alternatives, you might want to consult a professional in skincare in Vancouver to explore safer, tailored options for your beauty routine.
