Chemsec - Phase Out of Parabens

The International Chemical Secretariat, ChemSec, has just published a fact sheet on parabens, summarizing the hazards associated with the endocrine disruptors as well as available alternatives. Public opinion suggests that the current permitted levels for propylparaben and butylparaben should be lowered. A new opinion from the EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) is expected soon. For further details, please contact us.
