This article from Environmental Working Group has a study on women of color and exposure to chemicals through beauty products. Which reminds of when I went to the store bought some shampoo and conditioner; I found Coumarin in both of the shampoo and conditioner. It was the last ingredient listed on the bottle. I am curious as to what purpose Coumarin is in the shampoo and conditioner. So I went on this website to see which other products have Coumarin in them.
I'm shocked and stunned. So I did more snooping. I found Lyral in products. Lyral is baby products, men's and women's skincare products.
Here are the ingredients in Nadinola Skin Lightening Cream.
I am curious just how many chemicals have I exposed myself. I wonder how much of these chemicals have an impact on our carbon footprint and will any less use of these chemical will be a part of our Green New Deal.
