Endocrine disruptors have become a major issue in environmental health discussions. Found in certain plastics, pesticides, cosmetics, textiles, and food packaging, these chemical substances can interfere with the body’s hormonal system and potentially affect human health. Over the past two decades, scientific publications on the subject have increased significantly. Yet regulation continues to move slowly,

We said we would keep tracking. Here is where things stand today. Since our last publication, we have continued reaching out to key decision-makers within the cosmetics industry regarding the presence of endocrine disruptors in consumer products.

These chemical substances, capable of interfering with the hormonal system, are now associated with a wide range of health risks.

Despite increasing awareness, regulating these substances remains a complex and politically sensitive challenge. The case of Hawaii provides a particularly illustrative example. A Landmark

We have been told, for years, that the products we apply to our skin are safe. That they act as a protective barrier. That they remain on the surface. But what if they don’t? A U.S. clinical study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) — and highlighted in recent scientific literature

We still hear it, again and again: endocrine disruptors supposedly have no real impact on human health, especially at the low doses we are exposed to daily. That claim is becoming increasingly difficult to defend. A 2024 study published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research offers compelling evidence. Researchers investigated the effects of avobenzone —

After reaching out to L’Oréal as our first point of contact in this campaign against endocrine disruptors in cosmetic products, we have continued our efforts by contacting other major industry leaders, including LVMH and Hermès. To date, we have received no response. Despite the urgency of the issue, despite the very real health consequences we

We said we would follow up. Here we are. After our first message regarding endocrine disruptors in cosmetic products, we are still facing silence. Today, we are making public the individuals and decision-makers we have contacted — those who have the power, and therefore the responsibility, to act. No response is not neutral.No response is

We promised to keep you informed — here is our first update. L’Oréal was the very first company we contacted as part of our campaign against endocrine disruptors in cosmetic products. To date, we have received no response. Despite the urgency of the issue, despite the very real health consequences we have described — silence.
