Getting to Toxic-Free
Margaret Shield, Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition Coordinator
Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org
TOXIC-FREE LEGACY COALITION
and more than 50 other organizations in Washington State
working together to eliminate persistent toxic chemicals
Getting to Toxic Free - Cosmetics & Personal Care Products
Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org
Today’s Beauty Aisle: a chemical world
According to industry
estimates, on any
given day a consumer
may use as many as
25 cosmetic products
containing more than
200 different
chemical
compounds.
Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org
89 percent of the ~10,500 ingredients
used in personal care products have
not been screened for safety
by the FDA or anyone else!
Untested Chemicals
Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org

Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org
Concern for Nail Salon Workers
Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org
Nail Salon Workers at Risk
• 96% women / 59% people of color
• more than 380,000 workers nationwide
• exposed to acetone, toluene, formaldehyde,
phthalates, methylacrylates, toluene sulfonamide
formaldehyde (TSF) resin, and other volatile
organics
• OSHA exposure standards do not address low-
dose, long-term exposure
• some safer products are available - but workers
may not be aware of them

Daily Multiple Exposures to Toxics
But I thought
the government
was protecting
me!!!!
Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org
FDA Regulates Cosmetics - not so much…
Under current law, the Food and Drug Administration:
• does not review cosmetic products or
ingredients before they are marketed
• cannot compel companies to provide health
effects data about ingredients
• cannot recall products
Cosmetics industry monitors itself through
the Cosmetics Ingredient Review (CIR) panel
Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org
Cosmetics Label Loopholes
• “Fragrance, coloring, or flavoring” -
ingredients used for these purposes
do not have to be listed.
• “Trade Secrets” - industry can ask
for trade secret status for an ingredient without any
safety testing requirement;
label lists “and other ingredients”
• “Hypoallergenic”, “Natural” and “Organic”
terms have no legal standards.
Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org
Phthalates ~ the everywhere chemical
pronounced thal-ates
Potential Health Effects:
reproductive toxin, asthma, damage to liver or kidneys
Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org
Phthalates - human studies
Impacts on Male Reproductive System
Development
• Moms with higher phthalate exposures
were more likely to have boys with
altered genital development including
smaller penises and undescended testes
(Swan et al., 2005; Marsee et al., 2006)
- Baby boys exposed to higher levels of
phthalates in breastmilk had slightly,
but significantly, decreased testosterone
levels (Main et al., 2005)
Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition www.toxicfreelegacy.org
“Off-label” Phthalates
• Phthalates found in ~ 75% of products -
perfumes, deodorants, hair gels,
body lotions, etc…
• Phthalate amounts from trace to
3% product weight
• In many fragrances, phthalate
concentrations were 10,000-28,000 ppm
