After a woman was hospitalized: Health Ministry warns public against hair-straightening product

The Health Ministry warns the public against using the hair-straightening product "Revival Miracle" after a woman was hospitalized at Rambam Hospital. The product is marketed without a license and contains glyoxylic acid, which is prohibited for use in Israel.

The Health Ministry issued a warning to the public against using the hair-straightening product "Revival Miracle," after a woman was hospitalized at Rambam Hospital following its use. An investigation by the ministry found that the product is marketed without a license or notification of cosmetic marketing, and that according to its label, it contains glyoxylic acid—an ingredient prohibited for use in Israel in hair-straightening products. A ministry representative visited the salon where the product was used and collected a sample, which is expected to be sent for laboratory testing. The ministry contacted the company "P.R. ColorDesign," whose name appears on the product label, but has not yet received a response. The Health Ministry calls for the immediate cessation of use, marketing, and sale of the product.
