Study finds most US children use potentially toxic makeup products, often during play ColumbiaMSPH
In light of the limited regulation of cosmetics and evidence of toxicity associated with common ingredients, we investigated the frequency and duration of CMBP use. More than half of the children of respondents used CMBPs at least monthly and approximately one-fifth typically use CMBPs for 8 h or more. Frequent and lengthy exposures to CMBPs in early life warrant concern about the safety of their ingredients.
Our results also suggest that the motivations for the use of CMBPs may vary by ethnicity. More frequent but shorter uses of CMBPs were reported for children of Hispanic/Latinx parents/guardians and may be indicative of CMBPs being used in play times. The play–beautification rating supports this finding as children of Hispanic/Latinx parents/guardians had a significantly lower average rating than children of non-Hispanic parents/guardians.
Broad eligibility criteria for study participation and the availability of the survey in multiple languages allowed us to obtain information about CMBP use potentially relevant to many different localities and communities, despite having a relatively small sample size. Although we received responses from across the United States, the study sample was not nationally representative. For example, one of the states with the highest number of responses was Alaska.
