time, it can give off fantastic fragrances for people. However, there are also
some potential health risks in this product you can’t skip.
News reported that
Lincoln middle
school students were restricted on use of deodorant, cologne, and perfume.
Officials had placed restrictions on the use of body sprays, saying heavy use
of the odorous sprays is causing problems for students with allergies and
asthma. A school in Pennsylvania
asked its students to lighten up on the perfumed sprays after a student there
suffered an allergic reaction so severe that he had to be hospitalized.

thought that deodorants and body spray should have many advantages but not so
terrible disadvantages to health. Actually, there are many chemicals contain in
these personal care products. Most personal car items can give off fragrance.

problems, skin irritation. And it affects the nervous system, causing
depression, hyperactivity, and irritability.
Body spray may
contain chemicals like propylene glycol. It is a component of antifreeze, can
be found in many commonly-used toiletries, to keep them wet after opening.
Propylene Glycol can be found in deodorant, lotion, hair care products, body
wash, and toothpaste. The adverse effects of this chemical include skin
irritation, tearing up when applied to eyes, and complications with liver,
kidney, and brain functions.
Some body spray
contains phthalates that probably the most common out of all the chemicals used
in our every-day lives. Phthalates are petroleum-based chemicals that were
originally used to make plastics more flexible. Phthalates may cause
reproductive system complications, breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian
cancer, allergies, and obesity.

personal car products. This chemical is possibly the most dangerous ingredient
