The Ministry of Health has issued a public warning against using a hair straightening product named "Revival Miracle" after a woman was hospitalized at Rambam Health Care Campus following its use. An initial investigation by the ministry revealed that the product was sold without a license or legal marketing notification for cosmetics. Furthermore, according to its label, the product contains glyoxylic acid, a substance completely prohibited for use in hair straightening products in Israel. The label indicates the product is manufactured by "P.R. Colordesign." The Ministry of Health urges an immediate halt to the product's use, marketing, and sale. Ministry representatives collected a sample of the product from the salon where the treatment was administered, which will be sent for laboratory testing. A query was sent to "P.R. Colordesign," but no response has been received. The ministry emphasized that using unapproved or illegally containing hair straightening products poses a public health risk and recommended verifying that all cosmetics are legally marketed and contain tested ingredients. Consumers can check for licenses or marketing reports in the Ministry of Health's cosmetics database. The ministry stressed that individuals experiencing unusual symptoms after hair straightening, such as decreased urination, swelling, nausea, vomiting, abdominal or back pain, and extreme fatigue, should seek immediate medical attention and report the product details used. The ministry is continuing to investigate the incident and will provide updates based on findings and test results.
