Traces Of Chemicals In Cosmetics Have Been Found In Breast Tumour Samples
Individuals who use make-up on a daily basis are absorbing almost 5lb of chemicals a year into their bodies, it is claimed.
Among chemicals under scrutiny are parabens (para-hydroxybenzoic acids) which are preservatives used in products including soap, shampoo, deodorant and baby lotion. Traces of parabens have been found in breast tumour samples, although its link to the development of the cancer is disputed by cosmetic manufacturers. (Surprise, surprise!)
