Carcinogens in cosmetics

Certain carcinogens, for example formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing additives are present in cosmetics. Formaldehyde are common carcinogens in skincare products, hair straightening products, nail polishes, shampoos, lotions, and shower gels. If humans are exposed to high quantities of formaldehyde, it can place them at a higher risk for developing cancers. Carcinogens may rise the risk of cancer by varying cellular metabolism or harmful DNA directly in cells, which interferes with biological methods, and encourages the uncontrolled, malignant partition, ultimately leading to the development of tumours.
