MAKEUP PRODUCTS (NON-PERMANENT)

While many chemicals in beauty products pose little or zero threat, some have been associated with severe health problems, such as cancer, reproductive and neurological harm, and developmental delays. Cosmetic chemicals enter the body through the skin and inhalation, and cause similar problems as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals and contaminants linked to cancer can be found in food and several other common items. Still, no category of consumer items is subject to less government inspection than cosmetics and other personal products, including CoverGirl Clump Crusher by LashBlast Mascara. Though most of the chemicals and contaminants in cosmetics and personal care products in all likelihood present very little risk, exposure to some has been linked to major health concerns, including cancer.
