MAKEUP PRODUCTS (NON-PERMANENT)

While the majority of chemicals in cosmetic products present little or zero threat, some are associated with severe health issues, including neurological harm and cancer. Cosmetic chemicals enter a person's body through the skin, inhalation, ingestion and internal use, and lead to similar risks as food chemicals, per this site.

Contaminants and chemicals linked to cancer are found in food, water, and many other everyday products. Still, no group of consumer products is subject to less government oversight than cosmetics, including NARS Soft Velvet Loose Powder. While most of the chemicals in cosmetics almost certainly pose very little risk, being exposed to some is linked to serious health concerns, including cancer.
