Keratin fibers are quite safe. They must never be ingested or inhaled. There is a theoretically risk of sensitivity to the dyes used to color the fibers but this is extremely rare.IN general cosmetic fibers (.....there are many on the market!!!) may contain various FD&C and D&C dyes and some fibers contain DMDM hydantoin (a formaldehyde releaser) and iodopropynyl butylcarbamate (a cosmetic preservative) in addition to other ingredients. The frequency of problems with these additives is likely very very low.
