Almost 50% of cosmetics containing carcinogenic contaminant like. ethoxylated surfactants were found to contain dioxane. See Ethoxylated surfactants From Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS):
- 1,4-Dioxane may exert its effects through inhalation, skin absorption and ingestion
- 1,4-Dioxane is listed as a carcinogen.
- Effects of overexposure: 1,4-dioxane is an eye and mucous membrane irritant, primary skin irritant, central nervous system depressant, nephrotoxin, and hepatotoxin.
- Acute exposure causes irritation, headache, dizziness, and narcosis. Chronic inhalation exposure can produce damage to the liver and kidneys, and blood disorders.
DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (Monoethanolamine), & TEA (triethanolamine) These chemicals are already restricted in Europe due to known carcinogenic effects. Dr. Samuel Epstein (Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Illinois) says that repeated skin applications . . . of DEA-based detergents resulted in a major increase in the incidence of liver and kidney cancer. See Nitrosating agents From Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS): - Health Hazard Acute And Chronic: Product is severely irritating to body tissues and possibly corrosive to the eyes.
- Explanation Carcinogenicity: Amines react with nitrosating agents to form nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic.
Diazolidinyl urea Established as a primary cause of contact dermatitis (American Academy of Dermatology). Contains formaldehyde, a carcinogenic chemical, is toxic by inhalation, a strong irritant, and causes contact dermatitis. See Formaldehyde From Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS):
