While running through EWG’s Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database for updates, I noticed that they’ve put up an ingredient guide for children’s products which highlights 20 common ingredients of concern. Some of these information are actually useful for us to know as many of our skin care products do contain the said ingredients too.
Fragrance in most products
This ingredient has a health hazard rating of 8 out of 10 on EWG’s database. Fragrances are among the top 5 allergens in the world and known to trigger asthma attack. In addition, it contains ingredients suspected of neurotoxicity, plus known or suspected hormone disruptors. But because of its widespread use, it makes it difficult to avoid completely so EWG has listed this as an ingredient to avoid when possible.
Ceteareth & PEG Compounds in body wash & shampoos
These petrochemicals may contain impurities as well as possible and known human carcinogens. Many of these compounds are not safe for use on injured or damaged skin as they absorb readily into skin and make it easier for other chemicals to penetrate. Rated as 8 in terms of health hazard.
