MAKEUP PRODUCTS (NON-PERMANENT)

While the majority of chemicals in beauty products and cosmetics pose minimal or no threat, dozens have been linked to severe medical problems, including cancer, and neurological harm. Cosmetic chemicals gain entry to a person's body through the skin and inhalation, and pose similar risks as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals linked to cancer are found in food and several other common goods. But, no sector of consumer goods is accountable to less government oversight than cosmetics and other personal products, including Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24HR SPF 15. While many of the chemicals in cosmetics in all likelihood pose very little risk, exposure to a few has been linked to significant health conditions, such as cancer.
