A new study has found that switching to phthalate- and paraben-free cosmetics may reduce your risk of breast cancer. Phthalates and parabens are commonly used in personal care products like shampoo and deodorant. According to EWG’s Skin Deep® cosmetics database, more than 2,500 products may contain parabens. Once these chemicals are absorbed through the skin they mimic estrogen, high levels of which are a major risk factor for breast cancer. Here’s the good news: Researchers have found that switching to paraben- and phthalate-free products can actually reverse pro-cancer-associated cell behavior. But the FDA still won’t take action to ban these dangerous chemicals. That’s why EWG’s work is so important – we’re here to help you avoid these chemicals and push for industry change.
