A member asked:
Is it possible for cosmetics, hair products and beauty products to cause cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Great question: But not enough answers yet. Clearly there are many carcinogenic ingredients to many cosmetics. However, these generally require prolonged exposure and higher blood levels than commonly experienced in order to have true carcinogenic potential. The beneficial effects of the sunscreen in many cosmetics to prevent skin cancer must also be balanced against the potential adverse effects.
