Personal Care Products

Meaning

Personal Care Products are consumer goods intended for topical application to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or temporarily altering appearance. From an endocrine health perspective, the primary clinical concern lies with their potential to contain Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), such as phthalates and parabens, which can be absorbed transdermally and interfere with the body’s natural hormonal signaling. These products represent a common source of chronic exogenous chemical exposure.
