MAKEUP PRODUCTS (NON-PERMANENT)

Though many chemicals in cosmetics present slight or no danger, several are linked with serious medical problems, such as developmental delays and cancer. Chemicals in cosmetics can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, and the skin, and pose the same dangers as food chemicals, per this site.

Contaminants and chemicals linked to cancer are found in food and a lot of other common goods. Still, no area of consumer goods is subject to less government oversight than cosmetics and other personal care products, including Lip Gloss (Round of Cosmos!). Although many of the chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics and personal care products in all likelihood pose very little risk, exposure to some is linked to serious health concerns, including cancer.
