Industrial solvents
Never allowed
Solvents used to dissolve, thin or strip. They belong in a factory, not on skin.
- What it does
- Solvents & carriers
- Our take
- Every one of these is either a known or probable carcinogen, a reproductive toxicant, or a neurotoxicant at working exposure. None has a cosmetic function that a safer solvent cannot do. They turn up in nail products, hair straighteners and cheap imported cosmetics.
- Instead try
- Water, glycerin, propanediol and plant-derived glycols do every job these do in a cosmetic.
