Cancer Causing Benzene Detected In Estee Lauder’s Clinique

Independent US lab Valisure found high levels of cancer-causing benzene in acne treatments from brands like Clinique, Up & Up, and Clearasil. Valisure petitioned the FDA for recalls and investigations. Companies like Estee Lauder and Reckitt defended product safety, while Target and Walmart did not comment.

Benzene, a known carcinogen, was found to exceed FDA limits. Valisure noted this case differs from previous benzene contaminations in other products. Concerns arise as some treatments could exceed FDA limits by over 800 times. Bloomberg News first reported the issue.
