The risk of infertility due to buy cosmetics according to the habit.

To conduct the survey in a series of supermarket and convenience store, we startled when most of the people who are involved are asked ... the source of the information the drug administration, Ministry of health, all circulating for cosmetic products containing 5 kinds of paraben. Most of the guests are confirmed, they buy the products according to the habit, the type would use the saw is in use, never noticed the ingredients there are in each specific product.

Ms. Thuy Ha, expert of the blood clotting disorder in Vietnam also said, just when the baby milk powder bought new sister to Italy to the component of each type to compare, there kinds of products like shampoos, gels, cleansers, skin ... sister were bought under reputable brands, saw steady use is continued use , never to see the composition of the product include what substances.

This is probably not unexpected by most Vietnamese people are buying habit. Most of us are yet to have the habit of watching carefully the composition of each when buying a product. All the information on the product are overlooked, "if read, sometimes only see limited use and directions for use"-Ms. Quynh Hoa, Bank officials said Vietinbank.

Even many employees at the drug store, who was also quite familiar with the chemical ingredients in these products, bio also said they don't yet have the habit of "soi" ingredients in consumer products, still shop with the habit, the familiar of the brand for the family.
