Personal story for me, my child was born with non-descent testicles. He had to go through surgery a few months after he was born. My doctor couldn't tell me 100% that phthalate was the reason for this but as I mother I couldn't take the reason...it just happens. I investigated and I was going to school to become an esthetician while I was pregnant and 90% of cosmetics, masks, creams and cleansers contained phthalate. I did research and phtalate is known to cause under developed reproductive systems. As a mother who has personally gone through this I will be using phtalate free FO.
