Although many chemicals in beauty products pose very little or zero threat, several are linked with severe health issues, such as developmental delays and cancer. Cosmetic chemicals gain entry to a person's body through the skin and inhalation, and pose the same risks as food chemicals, per this site.
Contaminants and chemicals associated with cancer are found in food and lots of other commonly used items. But, no category of consumer items is subject to less government oversight than cosmetics and other personal care products, including Hand & Body Lotion. Though most of the chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products probably present very little risk, your exposure to some is associated with major health issues, such as cancer.
