These hazardous substances have been identified in lotions, shampoos, and other personal care items, raising urgent health concerns. Scientists warn that these toxic ingredients could pose significant health risks, highlighting the need for consumers to be aware of the products they use daily. The findings prompt a reevaluation of safety standards in the beauty industry and call for greater transparency regarding harmful chemicals in cosmetics.
