Abstract
This chapter discusses the known effects of chemicals that are commonly used in personal care products and cosmetics on reproduction. Specifically, this chapter focuses on phthalates, parabens, and triclosan. For each category of chemicals, the chapter describes the effects of the chemicals on female and male reproductive endpoints. The reproductive endpoints that are of interest include the developing and mature sex organs, steroidogenic capacity and regulation, puberty, reproductive diseases and complications, fertility, pregnancy, and birth outcomes. Both human and animal studies are discussed in this chapter.
