Low Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

The average American uses 9 personal care products per day, containing 126 unique chemical ingredients. Many of these chemicals — parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, synthetic fragrances — are endocrine disruptors that absorb through the skin. The FDA does not require safety testing of cosmetic ingredients before they go to market.
