While many chemicals in cosmetic products present hardly any or zero risk, several have been linked with considerable health problems, such as cancer, and neurological harm. Cosmetic chemicals get into the body through internal use, the skin, and inhalation, and pose similar problems as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals and contaminants associated with cancer are found in water, food, and lots of other common goods. Still, no type of consumer goods is accountable to less government oversight than cosmetics and other personal care products, including Balmex Prevention Baby Powder. While many of the contaminants and chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products in all likelihood pose very little risk, being exposed to some is associated with critical health conditions, such as cancer.
