A new US study has revealed that Teflon is being used across a range of cosmetic product despite warnings about the potential impacts on human health.
The report carried out by scientists at the Environment Working Group (EWG) identified Teflon in foundations, moisturizer, brow liner and other cosmetic products regularly used by women.
The EWG is an American environmental organization that specializes in research and advocacy on issues related to toxic chemicals.
