MAKEUP PRODUCTS (NON-PERMANENT)

While the majority of chemicals in beauty products pose limited or no threat, several have been associated to considerable health problems, including developmental delays and cancer. Chemicals in cosmetics enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, and internal use, and lead to similar problems as food chemicals, per this site.

Contaminants and chemicals associated with cancer can be found in food and lots of other everyday goods. However, no category of consumer goods is susceptible to less government oversight than cosmetics, including Eyeshadow #17 (Puttin' on the Glitz limited-edition color collection & purse). While most of the chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics and personal care products in all likelihood pose very little risk, your exposure to some is associated with serious health problems, such as cancer.
