Israel's Ministry of Health has issued a warning against the hair straightening product "Revival Miracle" after a woman was hospitalized at Rambam Health Care Campus following its use. The ministry's initial investigation revealed that the product is being marketed without the required license or notification for cosmetic products. Furthermore, the product's label indicates it contains glycolic acid, a substance prohibited for use in hair straightening products in Israel.
The ministry received a report of the hospitalization and subsequently sent a representative to the salon where the product was used to collect a sample for laboratory testing. The ministry has also contacted the company listed as the manufacturer, "P.R. Colordesign," but has not yet received a response.
Health officials are treating the incident with severity, emphasizing that the use of illegally marketed hair straightening products or those containing prohibited ingredients poses a risk to public health. They are urging the public and salon owners to immediately cease the use, marketing, and sale of "Revival Miracle."
The Ministry of Health advises consumers to verify that cosmetic products are legally marketed and do not contain unverified or unsafe ingredients. Information on licensed products can be found in the ministry's cosmetic database.
In cases of unusual symptoms after hair straightening, such as decreased urination, swelling, nausea, vomiting, abdominal or back pain, or extreme fatigue, individuals should seek immediate medical attention and provide details about the product used. The ministry will continue to investigate the incident and will update the public as necessary based on findings and lab results.
