While the majority of chemicals in cosmetic products present little or zero risk, dozens have been associated to severe health conditions, such as developmental delays and cancer. Chemicals in cosmetics enter a person's body through the skin, inhalation, ingestion and internal use, and lead to the same problems as food chemicals, per this site.

Contaminants and chemicals linked to cancer can be found in water, food, and a lot of other common products. However, no sector of consumer products is subject to less government oversight than cosmetics, including Cortizone 10 plus Creme. Though many of the chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics and personal care products most likely pose very little risk, subjection to a few has been linked to major health problems, including cancer.
