Q. If I want to reduce my exposure to nitrosamines what should I look for?

The main chemicals to look for on ingredients labels are Bronopol, Triethanolamine (TEA), Diethaneolamine (DEA), Monethanolamine (MEA) and Formaldehyde. Nitrosamines in cosmetics tend to be higher when these chemicals are used. They also tend to be higher in products designed for use around the eyes or on babies.
