Though the majority of chemicals in beauty products and cosmetics pose slight or no danger, several are associated to serious health issues, such as developmental delays and cancer. Chemicals in cosmetics can enter a person's body through the skin and inhalation, and cause the same risks as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals and contaminants associated with cancer are found in food and many other ordinary items. But, no sector of consumer items is accountable to less government inspection than cosmetics and other personal care products, including Balmex Prevention Baby Powder. Although most of the chemicals in cosmetics most likely present little risk, exposure to a few has been associated with major health concerns, such as cancer.
