Paraffinwax is basically plasmic gasoline. It's unbelievably flamable. If you fill 1 hole in an egg carton with it, it will burn for hours and hours. It's great for camping if you can't start a fire. It's NEVER good to use on your hair. And if smoke anything, or like bon fires, you better stop if you plan to use that stuff. Unless you want to bekindling.

Sodium cocoate is ok. it's a salt made from sodium hydroxide and coconut oils. It's a detergent, basically. But safer than SLS and SDS.

The lime peel oil is something else to stay away from. Lime and lemon are citric acid. This acid, while not extremely strong, is strong enough to seep into your hair shaft and degrade it from the inside out. That is why people use it to lighten their hair. That lightening is how the damage manifests itself.

And the Cl 12740 and cl 61565 are similar to acridine dyes. These dyes have been banned by the CFTA in cosmetics for how unsafe they are. They build up in your system and cause cancers and extremely damaging disorders.
