Though most chemicals in cosmetic products present limited or absolutely no danger, some are linked with significant medical conditions, including cancer, and neurological harm. Cosmetic chemicals gain entry to a person's body through inhalation, the skin, and ingestion, and lead to similar problems as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals and contaminants linked to cancer can be found in food, water, and many other ordinary products. Still, no category of consumer products is susceptible to less government inspection than cosmetics and other personal products, including Balmex Prevention Baby Powder. Though most of the chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics almost certainly pose very little risk, exposure to a few has been linked to substantial health conditions, including cancer.
