Perfume, The Hidden Bane of Your Health: The Insidious Billion-Dollar Business of Beauty, Sex and Chemicals that Costs YOUR Health and Money - Paperback

by Johann Kellerer (Author)

In this book, you will discover the shocking truths that have been hidden from public view for far too long. The perfume industry is a vast profit spewing machine, but:

• Of the 3,059 ingredients used in fragrance compounds, there is evidence that many are linked to health effects including cancer, reproductive toxicity, allergies and sensitivities, according to Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.
• Breast Cancer Prevention Partners' Right to Know: Exposing Toxic Fragrance Chemicals Report found that 99 of the 338 fragrance chemicals detected in personal care products have serious health concerns. This means that more than 1 in 4 fragrance chemicals, namely: carcinogens (some specifically linked to mammary gland tumors), endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), chemicals linked to developmental or reproductive toxicity (that cause infertility or birth defects), neurotoxins and skin irritants, are linked to at least one chronic health effect. Major companies have been hiding unlabeled toxic chemicals in their products for years, according to Breast Cancer Prevention Partners.

• Essential oils, widely used in society, emit numerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs), some of which are considered as potentially hazardous under federal regulations, such as acetaldehyde, acetone, ethanol and toluene. However, essential oils are exempt from disclosure of their ingredients on their label, from "Volatile chemical emissions from essential oils" by Neda Nematollahi, Spas D. Kolev & Anne Steinemann.
• "Synthetic fragrances...added to soap, shampoo, deodorant, cleaning agents, cosmetics, and other consumer products...are also turning up in human breast milk...Environmental toxicologist Kurunthachalam Kannan...believes pregnant women should avoid products with musk fragrances because, he says, "Not much is known about the toxicity of these compounds to humans, let alone to babies." From "Chemical Exposures: The Sweet Scent on Baby's Breath?" by Carol Potera
