37. Formaldehyde Fumes in Lash Glue: Should We Be Concerned? (Part 2)


Listen Later

In Part 2, we go deeper into what those “formaldehyde fumes” actually mean for your body — and why this conversation is occupational health literacy, not fear marketing.

We cover:

  • the full list of common symptoms artists and clients experience

  • how repeated exposure can sensitize the body, leading to stronger reactions over time

  • does exposure cause allergic contact dermatitis, respiratory sensitization, and irritant responses

  • and we fact-check a popular Instagram carousel that downplays the risks — line by line

    This one is bold, honest, and very spicy!!🌶️🔥
