Personal Care Product Safety

Meaning

Personal Care Product Safety refers to the evaluation and assurance that cosmetics, toiletries, and other topical products are free from ingredients that pose a risk to human health, particularly those that function as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). In the context of hormonal health, safety protocols focus on avoiding compounds like parabens, phthalates, and certain UV filters, which can be absorbed through the skin and interfere with the synthesis, metabolism, or action of endogenous hormones. Prioritizing product safety is a crucial, often overlooked, aspect of minimizing exogenous hormonal interference and supporting systemic well-being.
