Phenoxyethanol, reproduction, and development: additional studies are needed

We read with attention the article of Dreno et al. [1] entitled "Safety review of phenoxyethanol when used as a preservative in cosmetics", published in the November 2019 supplemental issue funded by Cosmetique Active International. We would like to respond to their comments on the epidemiological studies we conducted investigating the possible role of phenoxyethanol exposure on reproduction and development.
