According to azchemistry.com, the highly toxic chemical mercury is found in some skin-whitening creams and mascara. It causes allergies and damages the nervous system. Beauty isn't skin deep, especially when cosmetics contain laboratory-made chemicals slowly

Talc used in eye shadows, blush, deodorants and soaps is carcinogenic. It is a mineral often found along with the deadly carcinogenic chemical asbestos.

Aluminium found in some cosmetics could cause breast cancer and Alzheimer's.
