SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

Though many chemicals in beauty products and cosmetics present very little or zero danger, dozens are associated with substantial health issues, including cancer, reproductive and neurological harm, and developmental delays. Cosmetic chemicals gain entry to a person's body through the skin, inhalation, ingestion and internal use, and lead to the same problems as food chemicals, per this site.

Contaminants and chemicals linked to cancer are found in water, food, and many other everyday goods. Still, no sector of consumer goods is subject to less government oversight than cosmetics and other personal care products, including L'Oreal Dermo-Expertise Skin Genesis Multi-Layer Cell Strengthening Daily Moisturizer-SPF 15 Lotion. Though most of the contaminants and chemicals in cosmetics in all likelihood pose minimal risk, exposure to some is linked to substantial health concerns, including cancer.
