NAIL PRODUCTS

While the majority of chemicals in cosmetic products present very little or no threat, several have been associated to significant medical problems, including developmental delays and cancer. Chemicals in cosmetics get into a person's body through the skin, inhalation, ingestion and internal use, and cause the same risks as food chemicals, per this site.
