New study finds skincare products could expose children to harmful phthalates

1. **Association between Phthalate Concentrations and Plastic Use:** Studies show a strong link between higher urinary phthalate concentrations and the use of plastics, particularly in children. 2. **Potential Role of Personal Care Products:** Personal care products like shampoos, lotions, and soaps also contribute to phthalate exposure. 3.

* **A:** Non-medicated, non-phthalate, non-paraben products. * **B:** Non-medicated, non-phthalate, paraben products. * **C:** Non-medicated, non-phthalate, organic products. * **D:** Non-medicated, phthalate-containing products. * **E:** Non-medicated, paraben-containing products.
