BATH PRODUCTS

While the majority of chemicals in cosmetics present slight or zero threat, several are associated with considerable medical problems, such as developmental delays and cancer. Chemicals in cosmetics gain entry to a person's body through the skin, inhalation, ingestion and internal use, and pose the same risks as food chemicals, per this site.

Contaminants and chemicals linked to cancer are found in food, water, and various other common goods. However, no area of consumer goods is subject to less government inspection than cosmetics and other personal care products, including White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor Perfumed Bath Soap. Although many of the chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics and personal care products in all likelihood present little risk, exposure to some is linked to serious health problems, including cancer.
