Although the majority of chemicals in beauty products pose minimal or zero threat, dozens are associated to serious health problems, such as neurological harm and cancer. Cosmetic chemicals get into your body through the skin and inhalation, and cause similar dangers as food chemicals, per this site.
Chemicals and contaminants associated with cancer are found in water, food, and several other common products.
