We know that the FDA deems a low level amount of some toxic chemicals “safe” in our food and other products, but this new study found that cosmetics companies are starting to use un-safe levels of certain chemicals, and not disclosing it. “Of particular concern are the high levels of 6:2 and 8:2 FTOHs, which are precursors to PFCAs that are known to be environmentally mobile and can cause adverse effects in both humans and the environment.” Very concerning stuff.
What frustrates me is that the study has not named the products they tested. I’d like to know what they are so that if I’m using any, I can stop immediately.
