A federal law that went into effect a year ago bans phthalates in children's vinyl toys and other products. But there are no U.S. restrictions on phthalates in cosmetics and other personal care items.

While DEP is used as a solvent in the fragrances, other unlisted ingredients seem to help create the cologne's particular scent -- but that doesn't mean they're harmless.
