They may contain:
DMDM hydantoin bronopol (2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol): Cosmetics preservatives that decompose and release formaldehyde , which the International Agency on Research on Cancer lists as a known human carcinogen. The preservatives and their decomposition products, including formaldehyde, can trigger allergic reactions.
Fragrance: This catch-all term can include hundreds of chemicals and trigger allergic reactions.
Ingredients can have harmful contaminants : Many common ingredients can contain impurities linked to cancer and other health concerns.
Avoid these common ingredients where possible:
- DMDM hydantoin,
- Diazolidinyl urea,
- Imidazolidinyl urea,
- Ceteareth,
- Polyethylene glycol and PEG
PEG/Ceteareth/Polyethylene compounds : These synthetic chemicals are frequently contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, which the U.S. government considers a probable human carcinogen and which readily penetrates the skin.
Resorcinol : Common ingredient in hair color and bleaching products; skin irritant, toxic to the immune system and frequent cause of hair dye allergy. In animal studies, resorcinol can disrupt normal thyroid function. The federal government regulates exposures to resorcinol in the workplace, but its use is not restricted in personal care products.”
