Other Chemicals, which are harmful
a) Phenoxyethanol
A few beauty brands marketed as the greenest in
the industry use phenoxyethanol as a preservative, suggesting that it is
derived from grapefruit. Well, cocamide DEA is derived from coconut but this
doesn’t make it any less toxic. Phenoxyethanol is a scientifically proven irritant to human skin
and eyes (Comparison of objective and sensory skin irritations of several
cosmetic preservatives. Lee E, An S, Choi D, Moon S, Chang I. Contact
Dermatitis. 2007 Mar;56(3):131-6.) and it is classified as irritant in European
Union. Phenoxyethanol is also restricted for use in Japan.
No matter
what the studies say, phenoxyethanol is deemed perfectly safe for use in
cosmetics in the U.S. and UK in concentrations of up to 1 percent.
