Methyl Paraben
- 3
  
  Ingredient of Concern
  
  Parabens, including methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, and butylparaben are the most commonly used class of preservatives in personal care products. Parabens have been found to mimic estrogen in laboratory settings and stimulated human breast cancer cells in culture. Paraben residues have also been found in human breast and other tissues as well as urine, and some research indicates that paraben use in personal care products may be associated with breast cancer and male reproductive effects. However, the available research is not yet conclusive on how harmful parabens are at levels typically found in consumer products. Darbre, P and PW Harvey J. Appl.

Fragrance
- 3
  
  Ingredient of Concern
  
  There is currently no requirement to disclose fragrance components used in consumer products. A listing of nearly 3,000 compounds used by the fragrance industry indicates that approximately one third of the compounds are known allergens or respiratory irritants. The Food and Drug Administration has noted an increase in the incidence of adverse reactions to fragrances in consumer products among the general population, with an increase in the severity of the responses, including immune and neurological impacts. An Institute of Medicine report placed fragrances in the same category as second hand smoke for triggering asthma in school age children and above . Hollender, Jeffrey, et al. Naturally Clean: The Seventh Generation Guide to Safe & Healthy, Non-Toxic Cleaning, New Society Publishers, 2005, p. 59.; http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-safe.html; Institute of Medicine , Clearing the Air: Asthma and Indoor Air Exposures (2000)
