They’re an insidious bunch, and ones with which we have a special intimacy. We rub them on our skin, eat them, and spray them in our homes. The unfortunate fact is that chemical additives make manufacturing easier and cheaper, and make many a product more appealing to the unwitting consumer. Synthetic chemicals make lipsticks last longer, keep food fresh, and make cleaning products fragrant.
