MAKEUP PRODUCTS (NON-PERMANENT)

While the majority of chemicals in beauty products pose slight or no threat, some are linked to substantial health conditions, such as cancer, reproductive and neurological harm, and developmental delays. Cosmetic chemicals get into a person's body through internal use, the skin, and inhalation, and pose similar risks as food chemicals, per this site.

Chemicals linked to cancer can be found in water, food, and several other everyday items. Still, no type of consumer items is subject to less government inspection than cosmetics, including CoverGirl Outlast Pressed Powder.
