Parabens concentrations can cause breast tumors. Substantial amount of phthalates (or the “fragrance) can cause disruptive hormonal system of a person. Lastly, lead can cause brain defects and impairment, and breast tumors.
There have been found many other side effects of these chemicals, the mentioned above are just few of its general concentrations side effects.
As for the environment, since cosmetic industry has been a really huge industry, the factory wastes and end-user wastes are the real culprit for keeping a safe and clean environment.
