SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

While the majority of chemicals in beauty products and cosmetics pose limited or no threat, dozens have been linked with serious medical problems, including neurological harm and cancer. Cosmetic chemicals enter a person's body through the skin and inhalation, and cause the same problems as food chemicals, per this site.

Contaminants and chemicals linked to cancer can be found in food and lots of other common items. But, no classification of consumer items is subject to less government management than cosmetics and other personal products, including Body Lotion (Women). While most of the chemicals in cosmetics in all likelihood present very little risk, exposure to some has been linked to significant health problems, including cancer.
