MAKEUP PRODUCTS (NON-PERMANENT)

While the majority of chemicals in cosmetic products pose very little or absolutely no threat, some are linked with severe medical conditions, including neurological harm and cancer. Chemicals in cosmetics enter a person's body through the skin, inhalation, ingestion and internal use, and pose the same risks as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals and contaminants linked to cancer can be found in water, food, and a lot of other common products. Still, no classification of consumer products is susceptible to less government inspection than cosmetics and other personal products, including Lip Gloss (Pretty Papaya). Although most of the contaminants and chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products in all likelihood present very little risk, being exposed to some is linked to serious health disorders, such as cancer.
