A quarter of all women in industrialized Western countries use up to 15 different cosmetic products every day. It is not uncommon for these to contain up to 100 chemical substances, some of which are harmful to health.
The effects of plastic toxins are different for men and women, according to the "Plastic Atlas 2019" published by the Heinrich Böll Foundation and the Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz (BUND).
According to the report, women's bodies have more body fat and therefore accumulate more liposoluble chemical substances in the tissues. Even plastic softeners are considered highly dangerous to health according to the Federal Environment Agency. According to the Plastic Atlas report, the female body is particularly sensitive to toxins during life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menopause. This can also have consequences for the unborn child.
