P&G Tops Largest Cosmetics Companies In Canada In Removing Toxic Chemicals From Products, Report Says

Procter & Gamble is the best among the top 5 cosmetics companies in Canada in terms of corporate policies on removing dangerous chemicals from products, according to nonprofit group Environmental Defence. Data from the report “Taking Stock: How the Cosmetics Industry Ranks on Toxic Chemicals” revealed how P&G, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, Estée Lauder, and L'Oréal have been working on eliminating toxic chemicals, such as triclosan, phthalates, parabens, and 1,4-dioxane, which have possible links to health problems including cancer. Occupying the bottom of the list, due to a lack of published policies to phase out these harmful chemicals, are Estée Lauder and L'Oréal.
