]]> Comment on Schoolgirl Suffers Severe Allergic Reaction to L’Oreal Hair Dye by Anne Foster http://toxicbeauty.co.uk/blog/2009/04/16/schoolgirl-suffers-severe-allergic-reaction-to-l%e2%80%99oreal-hair-dye/comment-page-1/#comment-493 Anne Foster Fri, 17 Apr 2009 09:29:13 +0000 http://toxicbeauty.co.uk/blog/?p=508#comment-493 I had a very severe allergy reaction to Garnier Ultra Lift eye cream just before Xmas - and had what looked like burns around my eye area initially, and all body reacted in a bad way. Suffered recurring flare ups during January and Feb and had also been to a specialist in early January who diagnosed contact dermatitis probably caused by this produce. This was as advised by Garnier who said they would pay for this initial consolation. As the reaction was so severe on a few occasions that my face and eye area flared up - even when trying to use normal cosmetic or shampoos etc previously okay - had a patch test done for my hair dye too even though previously had always been okay with it and used the same hair dressers and products for last 12 years with no problems. One occasion was so bad it was like an Anaphylactic reaction face and throat all red and swollen - had trouble breathing - and this was about 3am - but did not realise the severity of it till next day but by then had used antihistamines and cold compresses to take down. I have since had another hair patch test and been okay as symptoms seems to have settled down and slowly trying to introduce products back into se over time to see what happens and now find that am allergic lots of things I wasn’t before - also even though Garnier insisted they would pay for consultation with specialist the £160 still not been paid and I am still receiving invoices from the clinic today. Not happy too that they wanted me to throw the eye cream product away - which I have not done as having a week of patch testing at Salford Royal in May to try and get to the bottom of all this - as caused severe trauma both emotionally and physically to me over last few months and now having to also have time off work too for allergy testing. I do feel strongly and if found that Garnier product to blame will be taking matter further with L'Oreal and Garnier with assistance of my solicitor... Also the GMTV slot this morning 17/4/09 with the young girl on and never heard of PPD before but will be bringing this to the Doctor’s attention in May to check into. I have photographs of my flare ups in case of need and some are not nice to look at.

In the meantime, a few brands to try are Terressentials.com, Bubbleandbee.com, Naturesparadiseorganics.com, Intelligentnutrients.com, Motherlove.com, Organic-blessings.com, Spieziaorganics.com and Rawgaia.com.

Please advise if you have these available.
