A woman has been hospitalized at Rambam Health Care Campus after using a product called Revival Miracle. The product's label indicates it belongs to the company P.R. Colordesign and contains glyoxylic acid, an ingredient strictly prohibited for use in hair straightening products in Israel. An investigation by the Ministry of Health revealed that the product is being marketed without a license or notification of cosmetic marketing.
Ministry representatives visited the salon where the product was used and collected a sample for laboratory testing, expected in the coming days. The Ministry of Health stated it "views the incident with severity and warns that the use of hair straightening products not legally marketed, or containing prohibited ingredients, may endanger public health."
The Ministry urged the public and salon owners to immediately cease using Revival Miracle and refrain from purchasing or marketing it. It also advises checking that cosmetics are legally marketed and do not contain unverified ingredients. Consumers can verify a product's license and approved use in the Ministry of Health's cosmetic database.
Furthermore, the Ministry emphasized that anyone experiencing unusual symptoms after hair straightening, such as decreased urination, swelling, nausea, vomiting, abdominal or back pain, or extreme fatigue, should seek immediate medical attention and provide details of the product used.
