While most chemicals in cosmetics pose minimal or no danger, several dozen have been associated to severe medical issues, such as cancer, reproductive and neurological harm, and developmental delays. Cosmetic chemicals gain entry to the body through ingestion, inhalation, and internal use, and lead to the same risks as food chemicals, per this site.
Chemicals linked to cancer are found in food and various other commonly used items. However, no group of consumer items is subject to less government oversight than cosmetics, including C. O.
