Regulators Find Dangerous Toxins Linked to Birth Defects in Nail Polish

Regulators tested 25 randomly chosen nail polish products chosen, and found that many contained one or more of a chemical that it was advertised to be free of, including toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and formaldehyde.
List of Dangerous Chemicals in Skin Care Products
Cosmetic skin care products are skin moisturizers, lipsticks, perfumes, fingernail polishes, makeup, shampoo, hair colors, deodorants and toothpastes, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Laws are different for these products than they are for drugs, for example. The Food and Drug Administration states, on its website, that it does not have a premarket approval system for cosmetic products or ingredients. The FDA must recognize drugs as safe and effective before allowing them to go on the market. This is not the case for cosmetics, with the exception of color additives. Consumers should be aware of some of the dangerous chemicals in skin care products.

Because the hot tub’s water can elevate a woman’s body temperature, OB-GYNs frequently tell their patients to steer clear of hot tubs throughout their pregnancies.
