I have to put sulfur in my hair and have been mixing it with aloe vera gel.There is an odor.Is this

I am concerned with the chemical reaction of sulfur and water (in the aloe) and want to know what is formed. Most sources say that sulfur is not toxic when applied topically and a few say that it is.

What you are probably using is called pharmaceutical sulfur. It is used as a scabicide, parasiticidal, and antiseptic. There are three forms. Precipitated sulfur, sublimed sulfur, washed sulfur. Sublimed and washed sulfur are in the form of a fine yellow crystalline powder, with only a faint odor and taste. Precipitated sulfur is a very fine pale yellow amorphous or microcryst powder, which is odorless and tasteless. I am still looking for toxicity data and I will update my answer if I find anything. I wouldn't worry about using it, the cure is probably better than the illness. But always talk to a doctor before starting any kind of treatments.

I am not a chemist but.....I would think that sulfur (the way you use it) would not be toxic unless you are allergic to sulfur or sulfa drugs. Most people that put sulfur compounds in their hair do so because it is prescribed by a doctor to get rid of lice and nits because nothing else will do the deed.
