17 best-selling fragrances were tested, and found they contained an average of fourteen chemicals not listed on their ingredient labels because a loophole in federal law allows companies to claim fragrances as trade secrets. 66 percent of these "secret ingredients" have never been evaluated for safety, meaning we have no way of knowing what they'll do to our health.
Perfumes contained an average of 10 unlisted chemicals each that are associated with:
allergic reactions like asthma, wheezing, headache and contact dermatitis
an average of 4 chemicals known to be endocrine disruptors, which impair normal hormone development and have been linked to a range of health issues including sperm damage, thyroid disruption and cancer.
Bear in mind that we're lacking good studies that show definitive links between perfume use and rates of cancer or other serious health problems, but the President's Cancer Panel just issued a 200-page report saying the link between toxins in consumer goods and cancer has been "grossly underestimated."
