French Health Agency Urges Caution on Glyoxylic Acid in Hair Straightening Products

The French Agency for Food, Environmental, and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES) has advised against using hair straightening products containing glyoxylic acid due to reports of severe adverse reactions, including acute renal failure. ANSES considers it "very highly probable" that glyoxylic acid, which can transform into calcium oxalate crystals in the bloodstream, is responsible for these health issues. The agency urges a European-level risk assessment to limit or prohibit its use, noting that some products may release formaldehyde during heating. Glyoxylic acid has been banned in Israel since 2022, following 26 reported cases of severe renal failure linked to its use. ANSES calls for marketers to review product safety, while the European Commission will consult the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety for further regulatory action.
