A chemical commonly used in lipsticks, face washes and toothpaste may cause heart and muscle problems, according to scientists.

In tests on mice, they noted a ‘dramatic’ 25 per cent reduction in heart function within 20 minutes of exposure, and warned there is ‘strong evidence’ it could affect human health.
