There’s no better time to help the men in your life develop their self-care routine – or to fine-tune your own – than in November, Men’s Health Awareness Month.
Men’s daily personal care routines have been the subject of considerable online mockery. And, though unjustified, the derision shouldn’t come as a total surprise. The reality is a combination of social stigmas, cultural norms and historical events and trends that have at times influenced men to spend less time and money on their appearance.
But that’s changing. Men are increasingly using personal care products. An EWG-commissioned survey found that the average adult male uses 11 such products a day – almost double their use 20 years ago. And the market for men’s products is forecast to grow at almost 9 percent every year through 2030.
But some men’s products can contain potentially harmful chemicals. That’s because our government has failed to ban chemicals known to cause serious potential health problems, even those banned in other countries. Now more than ever, EWG is here to help you find safer men’s skincare products when corporations and governments fall short.
Below are four lists of low-hazard men's products. Each shampoo, face wash, moisturizer and deodorant is rated a 1 on our Skin Deep® database, which identifies ingredients and potential health hazards in cosmetics and personal care products. Others bear the EWG Verified® mark, which means they’ve been reviewed by our scientists and meet our rigorous standards for health and transparency.
When you’re shopping for these or other products, use our Healthy Living app in stores to scan them and find out their hazard rating on Skin Deep.
