Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: It is absolutely true that many conventional cosmetic products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like phthalates (often hidden under 'fragrance') and parabens. However, guaranteeing you'll find them in *any* product grabbed randomly off a Sephora shelf is an exaggeration. Major beauty retailers now carry massive 'Clean' sections specifically formulated without these chemicals due to consumer pressure and new cosmetic regulations like the MoCRA. 🧴
