The lab, Valisure, found some of the highest levels in  Not Your Mother's, Batiste, Sun Bum and John Paul Mitchell Systems. Unilever recalled Dove, Bed Head, Tresemme and Suave dry shampoos for benzene on Oct. 18, while Procter & Gamble did the same with itsPantene and Herbal Essences dry shampoos in December. So what brands are safe to use? Valisure didn't find any detectable levels of benzene in tests of these products. To be sure, Valisure detected benzene in some brands' products but not others, so while items on this list are more likely to be safe, they aren't a sure thing.Â
