    TLDR Cosmetics can contain harmful chemicals that may cause serious health problems over time.
    The review discussed the potential health risks associated with the use of cosmetics, which often contain hazardous chemicals such as Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Parabens, Phthalates, and heavy metals like Lead and Mercury. These substances can enter the body through inhalation, absorption, or ingestion, leading to bioaccumulation. Over time, this accumulation has been linked to serious health issues including cancer, reproductive and developmental disorders, contact dermatitis, hair loss, lung damage, skin diseases, allergies, and nail damage.
