Can clean beauty classes help black women avoid toxic chemicals?
NCT ID NCT07216898
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether educational events about clean beauty products could help Black women in Newark, NJ reduce their exposure to potentially harmful chemicals found in hair products. Researchers surveyed 38 attendees before, right after, and three months after a clean beauty event to see if they planned to change their hair routines or perceptions of product safety. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
