You are probably wondering what in the world phthalates are, and where you will find them. This nasty little ingredient is found in some of your personal products such as shampoo, hair spray, perfume, nail polish, mascara and more. The next time you are in the pharmacy stocking up on supplies, take a look at the ingredients for products that you are buying. You want to keep a look out for things like DPB, Dibutylphthalate, DHP, and DEHP. These alternative names are simply another way to say phthalates.
This harmful component is a possible protagonist for causing reproductive and developmental difficulties. So when you are buying products, take a close look at the label. If it does not contain phthalates it will say so, since companies know you want better products and are proud to announce they don’t contain bad things. If you see phthalates in your product, we suggest you set it back on the shelf and continue your search for a better product…because they are out there!
