The products for the hygiene of the body, but also for cleaning the house and cosmetics, they can hide many dangers to health, warns dermatologist Riccarda Serri, President of Skineco, International Association of ecodermatologia after a maxi-operation conducted today in Puglia on counterfeit products. These products, explains the expert Adnkronos Salute, “may contain preservatives banned by European standards, but also heavy metals such as hexavalent chromium, mercury and lead, rather than be taken not following the safety procedures that Europe imposes. So – it recommends a specialist – pay attention to the labels, even if this is not enough. I always recommend buying these products safe in chains, such as supermarkets, and pay attention to what ‘is found in flea markets or in Chinese shops. ” But those at the greatest risk? “The kids definitely – answers Serri – who have skin still in training.” But we are all at risk, warns. Among the problems most ‘popular there are “irritative and allergic reactions, but there’ s also the possibility ‘of a risk of toxicity’. And not only for humans but also for the environment. ” The expert therefore calls for ‘a greater commitment from the Ministry of Health in control of products we use every day.
