Personal care products typically include products used by people for personal health and cosmetic reasons. These products include cosmetics, soaps and shampoos, fragrances, lotions and pharmaceutical products.

Concern is also mounting over the potential effects of long term exposure to low levels of these chemicals. What can I do?
