Though the majority of chemicals in cosmetics pose minimal or no risk, some are linked to considerable medical conditions, including cancer, reproductive and neurological harm, and developmental delays. Chemicals in cosmetics can enter the body through internal use, the skin, and inhalation, and pose similar dangers as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals linked to cancer are found in food and a lot of other everyday items. Still, no sector of consumer items is subject to less government management than cosmetics, including Balmex Multi-Purpose Healing Ointment. Although many of the chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products likely present very little risk, being exposed to a few is linked to significant health conditions, such as cancer.
