Organochlorinated hydrocarbons, i.e. polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and pesticides (e.g. dieldrin, lindane, etc.), are chemically and microbiologically resistant pollutants. These molecules can also be absorbed through the skin and become a safety concern. Therefore it is important to investigate their presence in finished cosmetics and ingredients like lanolin and plant derivatives.
