Research Notes on Teens Exposed to Chemicals in Cosmetics
A new study has shown that young girls had up to 16 different chemicals in their urine and blood that could disrupt normal hormone system functions. Triclosan, phthalates, musks, and parabens have all been linked to cosmetics and body care products. Teen girls are more at risk as they are still going through rapid development which may put their reproductive system at risk.
