Parabens are salts and esters of para-hydroxybenzoic acid. This acid has a strong antimicrobial effect and is a high-performance preservative in cosmetics, achieving maximum preservation results with minimal use. The most commonly used parabens are:

• Methylparabens
• Ethylparabens
• Pentylparabens
• Benzylparabens
• Phenylparabens
• Butylparabens
• Propylparabens
• Isopropylparabens
• Isobutylparabens

The health effects have only been studied for individual parabens, with varying results.

All parabens are chemically similar to the female sex hormone estrogen. They are therefore suspected of interfering with the human hormonal system—especially since they can be easily absorbed through the skin.

Various studies have shown that parabens affect the hormonal system. Thus, they may impair reproduction. The studies examined butyl and propyl parabens, as well as methyl and ethyl parabens. However, there are currently no long-term studies in humans.

Parabens accumulate in the body. This is the conclusion of a study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services , which examined more than 2,500 participants. Women had significantly higher paraben concentrations due to their increased use of cosmetics.

In 2004, a British study linked methylparabens to breast cancer because parabens were detected in the tumor tissue of the malignant tissue.

DYNADION is preservative-free and therefore completely non-irritating, thus eliminating multiple side effects in long-term and performance applications at this level.

Silicones are a group of synthetic polymers—essentially plastics. Petroleum is often used for this purpose. Silicones have excellent coating properties and a noticeable effect.

In skin and hair care, they serve as an oil component, replacing high-quality and costly vegetable oils.

Silicones are inert, so they rarely trigger allergies and are well tolerated. However, as foreign substances, they have no positive effect on the skin's function, as they have been proven to irritate the cell membrane complex and block transepidermal water exchange with the environment. Furthermore, they are difficult to break down in the environment (WGK3). Silicones in cosmetic products can be identified by the ingredients ending in "-cone" or "-xane." They can be combined in a variety of ways, including with other substances, so a list of all silicones would be very long.

DYNADION uses only natural MCT oils – the highest quality oils used in hair and skin cosmetics. Especially during long-term and high-performance use, it is essential that the skin's transepidermal exchange of substances with the environment is not blocked.

Sulfates are surfactant salts that are responsible for forced foaming and cleansing in cosmetic products. They are so reactive that they degrade the skin's acid mantle/cell membrane complex to a critical level after just a few applications, allowing pathogens and foreign substances to penetrate the skin almost unhindered. Simply put, sulfates dry out the hair, skin, and scalp. Furthermore, these sulfates serve as carriers for allergens and toxic substances. For example, sulfates accelerate the penetration of parabens into the skin. Sulfates also aggressively attack the skin's microbiome, thus breaking down the skin's natural, antimicrobial protective film. Sulfates can therefore indirectly and directly trigger skin irritations and even allergies. Typical sulfates used are:

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
• Sodium Alkyloxysulfuricum
• Sodium dodecylpolyoxyethylene
• Ether sulfate
• Sodium laureth sulfate
• Sodium lauryl ether sulfate
• Sodium polyoxyethylene (1-4) dodecyl ether sulfate

DYNADION does not use sulfates or anionic surfactants. Instead, it uses only amphiphilic surfactants, one of the most skin-compatible surfactant classes, and completely non-irritating non-ionic surfactants.

Like sulfates, crosspolymer also damages the skin's natural barrier function and thus leads to immediate and indirect sensitization.

Since 2018, the European Commission's Scientific Committee on Consumer Protection has been investigating the health risks of acrylates copolymer. The reason for this is the suspicion that the substance can cause tumors.

This class of substances also exhibits poor biodegradability and, due to its excellent water solubility, penetrates all types of organisms. Microplastics are also increasingly being detected in human blood and fatty tissue.

DYNADION formulations are free of crosspolymers, copolymers and acrylates and are completely free of irritation at this level.

Quats, cationic compounds, are often used in skin conditioning. All quats also have an antimicrobial effect. However, they are also considered skin irritants and allergens and can cause skin irritation with prolonged use. Quats also irritate the skin's microbiome and cell membrane complex.

In addition, quats have the highest water hazard class and are therefore considered environmentally harmful. Quats can be identified by the wording "...ammonium..." in their ingredients.

Instead of quats, DYNADION uses so-called chitosan biopolymers, which are completely non-irritating and environmentally friendly.

A repellent is an active substance that is perceived by an organism through its sense of smell and that deters it without killing it.

The active ingredient DEET (Diethyl Toluamide) is often used as a repellent. DEET can cause local skin and mucous membrane reactions, skin irritation, allergic contact dermatitis, skin blisters, and itching.

Instead of DEET, DYNADION uses a biopolymer of chitosan, which is completely non-irritating and environmentally friendly. It doesn't even cause irritation on mucous membranes. The product is also safe for use on children.

And DYNADION is also free from the following ingredients:

Titanium dioxide, DHHB (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate), DnHexP (Di-n-hexyl phthalate), Oxybenzenes, Oxybenzones, Di-Oxybenzone, Avobenzones, Di-Avobenzone, Octinocat, Octinoxate, Octocrylene, Di-Octocrylene, Homosalate, Octisalate, Octylmethoxycinnamate, Octylsalicylate, Polysorbates, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, terephthalylidene dicamphor, zinc oxide, sulfonic acid, hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, ensulizole, Mexoryl SX, Mexoryl XL, Tinosorb S, Tinosorb M, anionic emulsifiers, silicones, microplastics, preservatives.
