Regardless of the FDA’s stance on phthalates, I personally would like to reduce or better yet, remove their presence from all my cosmetics and beauty items, but doing online research it seems very difficult to find any phthalate free options as many companies apparently don’t outright list phthalates on their ingredients list. Evidently because they help maintain a fragrance they are allowed to be hidden as part of trade secrets or something. I found Kai perfume oil that is marketed as phthalate free however I don’t really like gardenia all that much. I was looking at this brand called Perfumies that are solid perfume sticks and while they don’t indicate phthalate free they seem to be just beeswax, coconut oil, and pure fragrance oils. So I don’t know. Is there any option out there or is the only option to not wear any perfume? I found makeup free of phthalates and brands for shampoo and conditioner too but still looking for perfume. Thanks if you can point me in the right direction. I just wish they didn’t include phthalates in anything because I have been reading up on them and they appear to be hormone disruptors. 🙁
