While most chemicals in beauty products and cosmetics present minimal or zero danger, some have been linked with considerable health issues, including neurological harm and cancer. Cosmetic chemicals can enter a person's body through inhalation, ingestion, and the skin, and cause similar risks as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals and contaminants associated with cancer are found in water, food, and various other commonly used products. Still, no classification of consumer products is subject to less government inspection than cosmetics, including Desitin Maximum Strength/ Desitin Original Diaper Rash Ointment. Although most of the chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics and personal care products in all likelihood pose little risk, subjection to some has been associated with worrying health disorders, including cancer.
