MAKEUP PRODUCTS (NON-PERMANENT)

Although many chemicals in beauty products and cosmetics present hardly any or zero threat, some are associated with severe health conditions, including cancer, and neurological harm. Chemicals in cosmetics get into the body through the skin, inhalation, ingestion and internal use, and pose the same problems as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals and contaminants associated with cancer can be found in food, water, and many other ordinary goods. Still, no classification of consumer goods is subject to less government direction than cosmetics and other personal products, including NARS Lip Gloss/Lip Stain Gloss Duo.
