Worst Feminine Hygiene Products

Feminine hygiene encompasses a wide range of products, from creams to powders, but there are a few common unsafe, unhealthy ingredients to beware of. Most feminine care products contain “fragrance”, a catch-all term that masks a number of chemicals (the exact blend of ingredients is considered a trade secret) linked to allergies, skin irritation, and cancer. That blend of ingredients often includes phthalates, chemicals that are tied to immune, reproductive, respiratory, and endocrine system toxicity; developmental toxicity; and some forms of cancer.

Many moisturizing and cleansing products also contain some form of cetereath, a petrochemical that can introduce possibly carcinogenic impurities like 1,4-dioxane.

Hormonal creams often contain BHA, an immune and organ system toxin that’s banned for health concerns in the European Union, and triethanolamine, an immune and respiratory system toxin and skin irritant that’s sometimes contaminated with carcinogenic nitrosamines.

Personal cleansing products often contain DMDM hydantoin- a potential skin irritant that releases trace amounts of formaldehyde, or 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol, a preservative that's often contaminated with formaldehyde or nitrosamines. Although it shows up infrequently in feminine hygiene products, another chemical to watch for is Triclosan, an antibacterial and wildlife toxin that accumulates and persists in the environment.
