美國「安全化妝品運動組織」檢測出部分嬰兒洗髮精含有致癌物，國內大賣場昨晚已緊急將產品下架，等進一步確認安全無虞，再重新銷售。

兒童衛浴產品含有微量的1,4二氧雜環己烷（1,4-dioxane）以及甲醛這兩種致癌物質，究竟會不會危害健康？美國消費者安全觀察組織「安全化妝品運動組織」（ＣＳＣ）表示，微量即足以讓高敏感者產生反應。但迄今一些大規模研究的結果均指向危害人體的機率極低。



華盛頓郵報報導，ＣＳＣ委託獨立實驗室對數十種在美國熱賣的兒童衛浴產品進行檢測並公布報告，發現四十八種最暢銷的兒童衛浴產品中，廿二種含有微量1,4二氧雜環己烷，廿三種含有微量甲醛，七種產品前述兩種化學物質都有。



問題產品包括：嬌生嬰兒洗髮精、萊雅（L'Oreal）的Kids Extra Gentle 2-in-1洗髮精、幫寶適 （Pampers）的Kandoo泡沬洗手乳。ＣＳＣ表示，這三種產品的甲醛含量「足以使高度敏感者產生皮膚反應」。













所有這些產品均未標示含有1,4二氧雜環己烷與甲醛。這是因甲醛是液體防腐劑的分解產物，而1,4二氧雜環己烷則是製造過程中產生的微汙染物。



美國聯邦政府專家呼籲消費者審慎看待ＣＳＣ的檢測結果。專門評估化學物毒性的環保署說，吸入二氧雜環己烷以及吃進甲醛均會致癌，但衛浴產品停留皮膚時間不長，吸收有限，且斷續使用，危害人體機率極低。這也是美國食品藥物管理局並未嚴格要求將產品中1,4二氧雜環己烷與甲醛去除的原因。



但環保署也說，他們目前僅就上述兩種致癌物的吸入與攝取進行大規模研究，並做成會致癌結論，尚未就皮膚接觸獲致結論，環保署正就此進行研究。



環保署表示，三項研究職場接觸1,4二氧雜環己烷的研究顯示，工人罹癌死亡率並未升高。而即將在毒物學會年會發表，一項檢測兩千名十二歲以上美國人血液的研究顯示，他們完全未受這項致癌物質汙染。

*ND means the chemical was not detected in the product; however, this does not mean the product is necessarily free of other potentially harmful ingredients. Many of these products contain numerous other chemicals with health concerns.







Why “No Detect” Doesn’t Mean No Problem



Some products tested for this report did not contain formaldehyde or 1,4-dioxane. However, that does not mean the products are safe. There is no guarantee that other samples of the same product are not contaminated. Also, there are no legal requirements for children’s products to be made with the safest ingredients possible. As a result, it is common to find chemicals of concern in brands marketed to children.



Here is an example of a product that did not contain formaldehyde or 1,4-dioxane, yet contains other harmful ingredients:



Dark & Lovely Kids Beautiful Beginnings No-Mistake Nourishing No-Lye Creme Relaxer for Fine Hair (by SoftSheen-Carson, owned by L’Oreal USA):



•Contains at least 55 different ingredients.

•98% of those ingredients have no or inadequate safety data.

•Contains ingredients that are associated with health conditions, including:

•Methylparaben: On the European Union’s Banned and Restricted List and recognized as having links to cancer, neurotoxicity and skin irritation.

•Fragrance: Ingredients not required to be listed on product, but can contain harmful chemicals.

•Triethanolamine: Strong evidence of skin, immune and respiratory toxicity.
