Though many chemicals in beauty products present limited or absolutely no risk, several have been associated to significant health issues, such as developmental delays and cancer. Cosmetic chemicals can enter a person's body through inhalation, ingestion, and the skin, and lead to the same risks as food chemicals, per this site.
Contaminants and chemicals associated with cancer are found in food, water, and various other common products. But, no group of consumer products is susceptible to less government inspection than cosmetics and other personal care products, including HAND & BODY LOTION.
