Cosmetics are substances or products used to enhance or alter the appearance or fragrance of the body, most especially the face. Many cosmetics are designed for the use of applying to the face and hair.
Common cosmetics include lipsticks, mascara, eye shadow, foundation, rouge,skin cleansers, hair styling products, perfume, cologne etc.unlike drugs which are used to treat or prevent diseases in the body, cosmetics do not change or affect the body structure or functions.
What are some cosmetics ingredients that are potentially hazardous?
Skin care, make up, and other beauty products sometimes contain phthalates, talc, quinine, and or preservatives like formaldehyde all of which could be considered potentially harmful. However not everyone reacts the same way to specific ingredients.
Cosmetics are not like cloths that we can stick to one designer such as Prada, victory Ford , Calvin Klein etc.we need to change our brands of make up from time to time because all producers do not use exactly the same type of raw material,so in the process of changing products, you will find materials that suits your skin and the ones you are allergic to.
