While most chemicals in cosmetics present minimal or absolutely no threat, some have been associated to significant health problems, such as cancer, reproductive and neurological harm, and developmental delays. Chemicals in cosmetics invade the body through ingestion, inhalation, and internal use, and cause similar dangers as food chemicals, per this site.
Contaminants and chemicals linked to cancer are found in food and various other common products. But, no type of consumer products is susceptible to less government oversight than cosmetics, including HAND & BODY LOTION.
