Endocrine Disruptors

Definition

Chemicals that can interfere with the body's hormonal (endocrine) system. Some common cosmetic ingredients, including certain parabens and phthalates, have been identified as potential endocrine disruptors. Since lip products are partially ingested through normal use, avoiding endocrine disruptors in lip care is particularly important. Numbrrrz contains zero known endocrine disruptors.

Parabens

A group of synthetic preservatives (methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben) widely used in cosmetics and personal care products to prevent bacterial growth. Parabens have been detected in human tissue samples and can mimic estrogen in the body, raising concerns about potential hormonal disruption. Numbrrrz achieves product stability naturally through vitamin E and beeswax, avoiding parabens entirely.
