To avoid personal care or beauty products that contain EDCs (Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals) or other harmful chemicals, buy certified 100% organic products packaged in glass or ceramic jars that are labelled paraben free, fragrance free, and perfume free.

Hope this helps somebody! Wish we had realised this sooner ☹️🤦‍♂️

Breast Cancer UK's advice is 'in particular, if you use leave-on products applied to the skin (such as body creams, tanning lotions and makeup) choose paraben-free products. (Source: page 6 of cdn.breastcanceruk.org.uk/uplo)

WECF say 'Laboratory animal studies have linked parabens to reproductive disorders, such as infertility.' (Source: page 7 of wecf.org/wp-content/uploads/20)

Just in case my family & I were the only ones who didn't know this about E45 body lotion:

After being recommended we use E45 by a doctor, we have only just realised it contains parabens 🤮 🤒 👎

Parabens can interfere with our hormone systems and increase breast cancer risk. Source: Breast Cancer UK cdn.breastcanceruk.org.uk/uplo
