While most chemicals in beauty products and cosmetics pose hardly any or absolutely no risk, some are associated to significant health problems, such as developmental delays and cancer. Cosmetic chemicals can enter the body through the skin, inhalation, ingestion and internal use, and cause similar dangers as food chemicals, per this site.
Chemicals and contaminants linked to cancer can be found in food and several other commonly used products. But, no classification of consumer products is subject to less government inspection than cosmetics, including Balmex Multi-Purpose Healing Ointment. Though most of the contaminants and chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products likely pose very little risk, being exposed to some is linked to substantial health concerns, including cancer.
