Though the majority of chemicals in cosmetics present hardly any or absolutely no risk, several dozen have been linked to substantial medical issues, including developmental delays and cancer. Cosmetic chemicals get into a person's body through ingestion, inhalation, and internal use, and cause similar dangers as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals and contaminants linked to cancer can be found in food, water, and lots of other everyday items.
