EWG rating of granactive retinoid

2021-08-15 05:23:35
Ingredient rating websites like EWG and many others rate granactive retinoid and retinol as rating 9 which means highly toxic. It says that it causes a moderate risk of cancer and very high risk of developmental and reproductive toxicity. If that is the case why do companies sell 2% granactive retinoid emulsions or retinol serums for anti aging. Girls and boys aged 20+ have started using that due to anti aging concerns for future. Please help me understand the rationale behind its use considering its harmful effects. I myself am using a 2% granactive retinoid emulsion and feel scared now.
