The Chemicals Agency has reported four additional Swedish companies suspected of selling cosmetics containing hazardous substances, reports P3 News.
It mainly concerns PFAS substances, such as perfluorononyl dimethicone, which can harm both the environment and health.
Recently, Bianca Ingrosso's company Caia Cosmetics was reported to the police since several products were found to contain PFAS.
However, the problem affects several companies, notes Henrik Hedlund, who is the project leader for the Chemicals Agency's supervision. This means that more companies are expected to be reported.
Yes, there will be more. Just this substance that we have found most frequently is this perfluorononyl dimethicone, and you mainly find it in eye and lip products, he says to P3.
