Nivea and Biotherm marked down by Denmark
Denmark’s consumer council has said that Nivea and Biotherm both have ingredients that are suspicious and could cause hormonal disturbances.
Nivea contains four potentially harmful chemicals that are on the European Union list. Of the list produced, Nivea topped all the others, with 28 products in total, including their suntan lotions and face creams. Biotherm had 8 products that had potentially harmful chemicals added.
Biotherm’s parent company L’Oreal responded to the findings, “The ingredients in our products are legal, and even though a product contains an ingredient that is on the EU priority list that you mention, of substances that potentially cause hormone imbalance, that is not the same as saying that the product does cause hormonal imbalance.”
If you are a woman and have suddenly discovered that you have grown a beard maybe try products with less chemicals from a family business based in Spain, www.lujos.co.uk. Lovely soaps, eye creams and facial creams with fresh ingredients and locally sourced.
