Study Links Children’s Skin Care Products to Hormone-Disrupting Chemical

A new study found for the first time that common skin care products used by young children may increase their exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals.

The results may help guide parents to limit their children’s exposure to toxins that could harm their development, Michael Bloom, study leader and professor at George Mason University’s College of Public Health, told The Epoch Times.

“We found associations between recent use of different skin care products and higher concentrations of phthalate and phthalate-replacement compounds,” Bloom said in a press release.
