Although most chemicals in cosmetics pose minimal or absolutely no threat, several have been associated with serious health conditions, such as cancer, and neurological harm. Cosmetic chemicals get into the body through inhalation, ingestion, and the skin, and lead to similar risks as food chemicals, per this site.
Chemicals linked to cancer are found in water, food, and many other common products. Yet, no category of consumer products is subject to less government management than cosmetics, including Hand & Body Lotion. Though many of the chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics probably pose very little risk, your exposure to a few has been linked to substantial health conditions, including cancer.
