Ingredients to Avoid in Concealer
Top brand concealers include toxic ingredients like:
- Octinoxate: dermatoxin, skin sensitizer, penetration enhancer, potential endocrine disruptor (PubChem CID: 5355130)
- Ethoxylated ingredients (PEGs, PPGs, polysorbates, ceteareth, phenoxyethanol): ethoxylation process produces ethylene oxide, a carcinogen and developmental toxin (PubChem CID: 6354) and 1,4-dioxane, a suspected carcinogen (PubChem CID: 31275)
- Phenoxyethanol: deemed generally safe at a 1% concentration, however it’s production process, ethoxylation, can potentially contaminate phenoxyethanol with 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide (see above for ethoxylated ingredient description) (PubChem CID: 31236)
- Fragrance/Parfum: umbrella term including hundreds of toxins, including hormone disrupting phthalates, as well as skin irritants and allergens. Chemicals that are hidden behind this term can be carcinogenic, respiratory irritants, endocrine disruptors, reproductive toxins, neurotoxins, and more (PMID: 35669814)
- Parabens: preservatives linked to endocrine disruption (PMID: 29596967), known to be carcinogenic due to endocrine disruption (PMID: 36746253) Parabens may be listed as methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, isopropylparaben, and benzylparaben.
- Talc: potentially contaminated with asbestos (carcinogen), while there is much debate over the research of talc, it can potentially be contaminated with asbestos (carcinogen) (PMID: 31469695)
The good news is there are a wide variety of non toxic concealers you can switch to. The bad news is that researching all the ingredients on your own can be time consuming and confusing.
