California’s Department of Public Health, US, has identified over 170 personal care products being sold across the state that contain carcinogens and neurotoxins banned by law. The Environmental Working Group (EWG), is calling for urgent enforcement to remove the products containing the toxic chemicals, which includes formaldehyde, mercury, and PFAS. Products flagged in the state’s Safe Cosmetics Program include lash adhesives, hair treatments, skin care, and nail hardeners sold in 12 counties.
