  • Valisure, a lab in Connecticut, has detected various cancer-causing substances in common products and medications, such as benzene in hand sanitizers and spray sunscreens.

  • Benzene has been classified as carcinogenic by federal agencies and international organizations, capable of causing cancer at low exposure levels.

  • Valisure's discovery of benzene emanating from benzoyl peroxide products led to calls for investigations and testing guidelines for benzene in such products.
