There are several chemicals commonly found in beauty products that have been associated with hormone disruption. Some of these chemicals include:
1. Phthalates: These are commonly used as fragrance ingredients and plasticizers in cosmetics. They have been linked to reproductive and developmental issues, as well as disruptions in hormone function.
2. Parabens: These are preservatives commonly used in cosmetics to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. They have been found to mimic estrogen in the body and have been associated with hormone-related disorders.
3. Triclosan: This antimicrobial agent is often used in soaps, toothpaste, and other personal care products. It has been found to interfere with hormone regulation and has been linked to disruptions in thyroid function.
4. Synthetic fragrances: Many beauty products contain synthetic fragrances, which can be made up of hundreds of different chemicals. These fragrances can contain phthalates and other hormone-disrupting chemicals.
5. Formaldehyde: This chemical is used as a preservative in some beauty products. It has been classified as a known human carcinogen and can also disrupt hormone function.
