Description
Cathryn Payne and a team of co-authors studied whether fear of harm shapes how adults buy hair products, in two thousand twenty-three. Many personal care products carry chemicals that can disrupt hormones. The survey covered adults linked to a university in the Northeast of the United States.
More than five hundred people rated their concern about product harms. Those who strongly agreed that consumers should worry were far more likely to use healthy product apps. They also more often read ingredient labels and looked for natural or non-toxic labels. The authors suggest that raising awareness of product harms could nudge shoppers toward safer choices.
