While many chemicals in beauty products pose slight or zero danger, some are associated to serious medical problems, such as cancer, and neurological harm. Chemicals in cosmetics get into the body through ingestion, inhalation, and internal use, and lead to similar risks as food chemicals, per this site.
Chemicals linked to cancer can be found in food and several other ordinary goods. Still, no group of consumer goods is susceptible to less government oversight than cosmetics and other personal products, including HAND & BODY LOTION. Though many of the chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics and personal care products likely pose very little risk, subjection to some has been linked to substantial health disorders, such as cancer.
