What is it, what should you do?
A compound used in teeth-whitening and some bleaching products that whitens by releasing oxygen. Because it was assessed to carry possible risks to reproductive health, the EU banned this substance in cosmetic products. When choosing a teeth-whitening product, it is safer to prefer approved hydrogen-peroxide-based products that do not contain this substance.
