A recent ShopSmart report revealed that many popular beauty products contain ingredients that should earn them "hazardous" stickers rather than shelf space at your local drugstore.
Here are two examples:
NARS Duo Eyeshadow Windstar: Before you dust your lids with these NARS neutrals, check the label. They contain Triclosan, an antibacterial compound that has been linked to skin irritation and possible endocrine disruption.
Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash: The title is misleading; this wash contains two compounds that can produce 1,4-dioxane, itself potentially irritating.
What to do about it?
Privilege "USDA Organic" or "Premium Body Care" emblems over "dermatologist recommended" claims when shopping for cosmetics and beauty products.
