Brazilian keratin?
 
Has anyone run across any scientific studies re: Brazilian keratin hair straightening and cancer risk?

Re: Brazilian keratin?
 
Not likely that there would be any studies specific to Brazilian keratin products, because the carcinogen some products contain--formaldehyde--has been tested many times.

OSHA has labeling requirements for products that contain formaldehyde,

but it appears that some of the manufacturers think that playing word games solves the problem:
