Impacts of Chemical Beauty
Abstract
Cosmetics are the group of products, including sun-cream, moisturizers, powders, perfumes, lipsticks, nail polishes, hair colors, shampoo, deodorants, baby products, and others. The use of cosmetic products is increasing day by day throughout the world. Both men and women are using cosmetics for their beautification and attractive looking. Cosmetic products contain a variety of chemical ingredients and some of these can create toxicity. There is a restriction to the use of toxic and non-permitted chemicals in cosmetics but, due to poor surveillance, sometime product contains unauthenticated chemicals. Thus, there is every time chance for the intoxication of cosmetics. The common effects of cosmetic toxicity are skin damage, hypersensitivity reaction and allergic dermatitis, skin rash, skin irritation, the appearance of acne, formation of dry and scaly skin, and carcinoma. The present work has focused on the main toxic chemical substances present in cosmetic products and the possible health complications related to cosmetic use. The side effects of cosmetics are now being an emerging issue of public health. Proper surveillance, authentication of the product and public awareness will be helpful to prevent cosmetic-related health problems.
