Phthalates
Phthalates are controversial chemicals used in hair products, deodorants, body lotions, fragrances and nail polishes. Health advocates argue that use of these chemicals among women of child-bearing age is leading to birth defects and declining sperm counts across the globe, while others argue that phthalates have been used for years and there is no evidence that they cause any harm in humans. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
