Cosmetics contains ‘forever chemicals’ like PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are surprisingly capable of passing through our skin.
PFAS can lead to health problems such as liver damage, thyroid disease, obesity, fertility issues and cancer.
Today, PFAS are found in numerous products designed especially for our dermis, including cosmetics as ubiquitous as sunscreen, moisturizers, and cleansers.
“The ability of these chemicals to be absorbed through skin has previously been dismissed because the molecules are ionized,” explains environmental scientist Oddný Ragnarsdóttir.
“The electrical charge that gives them the ability to repel water and stains was thought to also make them incapable of crossing the skin membrane.”
Out of the PFAS tested, 15 seeped into the skin model within 36 hours. One particularly worrisome chemical that was tested, called PFOA (perfluoro octanoic acid), is toxic enough to have been phased out of production in the US in the early 2000s. But not before it spread far and wide in the environment. It regularly shows up in tap water still.
