Though many chemicals in beauty products present very little or zero risk, some have been linked with significant medical problems, including developmental delays and cancer. Chemicals in cosmetics enter a person's body through ingestion, inhalation, and internal use, and cause the same problems as food chemicals, per this site.
Chemicals associated with cancer can be found in food and various other common products. Yet, no category of consumer products is accountable to less government direction than cosmetics and other personal care products, including Sweet 16.
