The Some Features of Impact of Synthetic Cosmetic Ingredients on Human Health and the Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the health risks of synthetic cosmetic ingredients, documenting evidence for allergic reactions, hormonal disruptions, carcinogenic potential, and environmental persistence of synthetic compounds in personal care products, calling for safer formulation alternatives.
The increasing global use of synthetic cosmetics has raised serious concerns regarding their impact on human health and the environment. This review examines the short- and long-term health risks associated with synthetic cosmetic ingredients, including allergic reactions, hormonal disruptions, and heavy metal toxicity. It also explores the environmental consequences, such as water pollution, bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms, microbial disruption, and microplastic contamination. The analysis highlights significant regulatory gaps and emphasizes the importance of consumer education, sustainable production, and stricter safety standards. The study concludes with practical recommendations for regulators, industry stakeholders, and consumers to mitigate the adverse effects of synthetic cosmetics and promote safer, more environmentally friendly alternatives.
