Study Links Lotions and Sunscreens to Hormonal Disruptions in Children
A recent study conducted by George Mason University College of Public Health has uncovered a troubling link between the use of personal care products—such as lotions, hair oils, conditioners, ointments, and sunscreens—and elevated levels of phthalates in young children. Phthalates, commonly used in plastics for their flexibility and durability, are also prevalent in many personal hygiene products. The research points to concerns about these chemicals' potential impact on child
