While many chemicals in beauty products and cosmetics pose little or absolutely no threat, several have been associated with serious medical problems, such as developmental delays and cancer. Chemicals in cosmetics get into your body through inhalation, the skin, and ingestion, and lead to similar risks as food chemicals, per this site.
Chemicals linked to cancer are found in food and a lot of other common items. Still, no area of consumer items is susceptible to less government inspection than cosmetics and other personal products, including Sweet 16. Though many of the contaminants and chemicals in cosmetics most likely present very little risk, exposure to a few has been linked to serious health problems, such as cancer.
