The study, which tested for 66 chemicals and found 55 of them in the products, says sunscreens and fragrant products had the most【C17】______chemicals and some of the highest concentrations. Brody, who says there needs to be a more【C18】______listing and testing of a product’s ingredients,【C19】______consumers to use fewer products, seek plantbased ingredients and rely on【C20】______water, baking soda and vinegar for cleaning.
