Cosmetic Products Containing Methylene Chloride

"Use of methylene chloride in cosmetics is a concern because it has been shown to cause cancer in animals and is likely harmful to human health.

Cosmetics that contain methylene chloride as an ingredient often fail to identify it as an ingredient on the cosmetic product label. In addition, the ingredient is sometimes listed under other names such as dichloromethane or methyl bichloride."

A table of the polish removers found to have methylene chloride in them is available at the link.

FDA ALERT ON HAND SANITIZERS IMPORTED FROM MEXICO. Can Contain Methanol (Wood Alcohol)--Toxic When Absorbed By Skin

FDA Places All Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizers from Mexico on Import Alert

The FDA’s analyses of alcohol-based hand sanitizers imported from Mexico found 84% of the samples analyzed by the agency from April through December 2020 were not in compliance with the FDA’s regulations. More than half of the samples were found to contain toxic ingredients, including methanol and/or 1-propanol, at dangerous levels. The agency has posted and regularly updates a list of hand sanitizer products that consumers should not use, which include those that FDA has found to contain methanol and/or 1-propanol. In most cases, methanol does not appear as an ingredient on the product label."

In this case, an FDA approved pain reliever is on the market, but the actual contents of the bottle may not match the label. It gets worse! On the same day, the FDA announced that a similar pain product - approved by our FDA - might actually have a different pain drug in the bottle.
