Chlorphenesin is a common preservative found in cosmetics like lotions and sunscreens that acts as an endocrine disruptor, potentially causing reproductive issues, developmental delays, and skin irritation. The FDA warns of its dangers to infants, including nervous system depression. Often hidden in “hypoallergenic” products, safer alternatives include those with natural ingredients and certifications like EWG or USDA Organic. Consumers should read labels carefully and choose clean beauty brands to avoid harmful chemicals.
