 This experts warn The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (social movement for the safety of cosmetics), which recently published its latest study. An independent laboratory tested the 17 different fragrances and perfumes. And you know what they found? Harmful chemicals.
According to the website Safe Cosmetics (Safe Cosmetics), test samples comprising:
- 14 chemicals that are not significant on the label. This becomes possible due to gaps in the legislation. Since the law allows manufacturers of perfumes to hide that part of the formula, which relates to trade secrets.
- 10 chemicals that are directly linked with allergic reactions such as asthma, shortness of breath, headaches, contact dermatitis.
- 4 chemical acting on a hormonal level, ie their application can have a number of health effects, including damage to sperm, thyroid disorder and cancer.
- Most of the chemicals that have been found by the study have never been tested and do not have a formal license or certificate for the safe use in cosmetics.
- Chemicals contained in the perfume (the same situation with the hair dye), absorbed by the skin, and therefore, it is difficult to say about the long-term effects on the health of the use of certain spirits and perfumes. But there are a number of risks, research shows.
Unfortunately, the list of the tested fragrances are not available. But consider such a study makes.
Therefore, the output of the consumer remains one - to buy perfume only well-known manufacturers, as well as large companies that have sufficient resources to carry out extensive research. Or, to use natural essential oils, however, it can not save you from the same allergy. And it is better not to use cosmetic products with fragrances of unknown origin.
