TMR experts answer a few questions pertaining to the U.S. pregnancy products market: Q. Do cosmetic products affect adversely if used during pregnancy? A. Yes, would-be-mothers need to take extra care while using certain cosmetics during pregnancy. A new study by SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York, the U.S., warns that using certain cosmetics such as lotions and soaps during pregnancy can affect newborns adversely. Using cosmetic products with certain antimicrobial compounds such as propyl paraben and triclocarban is dangerous. These antimicrobial compounds are linked with decreased body length at birth, decreased birth weight, and increased odds of preterm birth. A chemical called Triclosan is used in personal care products such as toothpaste, shampoos, mouth wash, deodorants, soaps, and cosmetics to reduce bacterial contamination. However, a
new study has found out that Triclosan antimicrobial agent disturbs bacterial communities in the gut, which might lead to arthritis, malnutrition, heart disease, and diabetes. Considering the side effects of certain cosmetics, mothers-to-be have become aware of selecting their products after due inspection. The reduction in the use of specific cosmetics due to harmful chemicals is expected to affect the U.S. pregnancy products market in the near future.
