Health Hazards of Cosmetics

Health experts say that excessive usage of cosmetics by children enhances their risk to various types of cancer and other problems later in life. Most of cosmetic products use potentially dangerous chemicals like parabens and phthalates. The parabens chemical have been recently found in breast cancer tissues. This chemical can affect the hormone estrogen. The phthalates are linked to lower sperm counts in men, premature breast development and allergies.

A study conducted by Consumer Education and Research Society, Ahmedabad, in April 2010 revealed that many popular lipstick brands have a high lead content (up to 25 parts per million), the reds were less poisonous than the brown ones; and the lesser priced lipsticks had less lead than the premium brands. Lead is a neurotoxin causing learning, language and behavioural problems, develops infertility and miscarriage. Young children and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to lead exposure.
