Frequently found toxic substances in cosmetic goods include chemicals linked to hormone disruption and cancer

Summary

A new study reports that one-third of the 318,000 identified beauty product ingredients lack toxicological profiles, while 45 “high hazard” chemicals are commonly used.

The report aims to address this by creating a centralized repository of hazard data and a chemical grading system to promote transparency and encourage companies like Ulta Beauty and Sephora phase out dangerous substances and adopt safer alternatives.
