EU Report Uncovers Harmful Chemicals in Hundreds of Cosmetic Products

A recent investigation by the European Chemicals Agency reveals nearly 300 cosmetics on the European market contain banned substances.

Almost 300 cosmetic products were found to contain chemicals that pose risks to health and the environment.
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) conducted the study across 13 European countries, analyzing around 4,500 products.
Key harmful substances identified include Perfluorononyl Dimethicone and Decamethylcyclopentasiloxan, known for their persistence in the environment.
Authorities are taking steps to remove these products from the market, though investigations are ongoing in about half of the cases.
The harmful chemicals were detected in products across all price ranges, prompting consumers to check ingredient lists carefully.
