University of Texas was the first institution to officially link low concentrations of Bisphenol S, also known as BPS, to estrogen disruption.<ref>http://www.sfgate.com/green/article/Bisphenol-S-may-be-as-harmful-as-BPA-4226326.php</ref> Since then, concern has continued to mount as further research has shown similar results. Additionally, BPS seems to negatively effect the brain and embryonic development.<ref name="washingtonpost.com">https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2015/01/13/how-to-avoid-products-with-toxic-bisphenol-s</ref><br />

Bisphenol S is being used largely as a replacement for the better-known Bisphenol A (BPA), but there is growing concern as to whether this substance is actually safer than its endocrine-disrupting cousins. BPS is believed by some researches to be less harmful is small quantities than BPA, but BPS is also more easily absorbed, especially through the skin, so the result will be a higher quantity of absorption.<ref>http://naturalsociety.com/toxic-bpa-substitute-bps-chemical</ref>
