Moderate Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Personal care products are applied directly to skin for hours or days. The FDA does not require pre-market safety testing for cosmetic ingredients. Many conventional products contain synthetic fragrance (hiding phthalates), parabens, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, and 1,4-dioxane.

Aveeno's unscented daily lotion is a reasonable mainstream choice — no parabens, no synthetic fragrance. However, it contains dimethicone (silicone) and benzyl alcohol. For a cleaner formula, plant-based alternatives are available.
