The ecologist organization Greenpeace said that the Austrian versions of well-known toothpastes and baby creams contain preservatives that can cause skin rashes and make bacteria resistant to medicine. Greenpeace chemist Herwig Schuster called on the authorities in Austria and the rest of Europe to immediately ban the use of these substances in health and beauty products. Schuster told a press conference in Vienna that laboratory analysis has shown that a preservative in the baby cream Penaten, a chemical called Methyldibromo glutaronitril (MDGN), can cause skin rashes. He said the risks of this "have been known for more than 10 years. There is no justification for continuing to use this product."
