MAKEUP PRODUCTS (NON-PERMANENT)

While many chemicals in cosmetics present slight or no risk, several are linked with severe health issues, such as developmental delays and cancer. Cosmetic chemicals gain entry to the body through the skin, inhalation, ingestion and internal use, and lead to similar dangers as food chemicals, per this site.
