Though most chemicals in cosmetics present very little or zero risk, some have been associated with significant health issues, including developmental delays and cancer. Chemicals in cosmetics gain entry to a person's body through ingestion, inhalation, and internal use, and cause similar problems as food chemicals, per this site.
Chemicals associated with cancer can be found in food, water, and several other common products. Yet, no kind of consumer products is susceptible to less government oversight than cosmetics, including HAND & BODY LOTION. While most of the chemicals in cosmetics almost certainly pose minimal risk, being exposed to some has been associated with serious health disorders, including cancer.
