Unilever’s Dry Shampoos
Allegations: Failing to disclose that products may contain the carcinogen benzene
In November and December 2020, multiple class-action lawsuits were filed against Unilever and Conopco for allegedly falsely representing that TRESemmé keratin hair shampoos – including the Smoothing Shampoo and the Smooth Color Shampoo – smooth hair and coat it in keratin without disclosing that ingredients in the shampoos cause hair loss and irritate the scalp.
