  • Title: [Cosmetic allergy].
    Author: Wojciechowska M, Gocki J, Bartuzi Z.
    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 2008 Jul; 25(145):87-9. PubMed ID: 18839623.
    Abstract:
    Cosmetics are substances or mixtures for an external contact with a human body: their skin, hair, lips, nails, external sex organs, teeth and mucous membranes of an oral cavity. The only or main aim of cosmetics is to keep the body clean, take care of it, protect, perfume as well as groom it. Since the products are supposed to be safe and well-tolerated, they tend to cause side effects, for instance irritation or allergy. This is mainly due to scented substances as well as preservatives which are included in cosmetics.
