Abstract
The increasing use of cosmetics in recent years by women has led to a higher risk of health problems. This study will look into the use of cosmetics, knowledge of chemicals, and their effects on women from the ages of 18-35. A total of 100 females were chosen as subjects for this study utilizing a 20-scale survey and convenience sampling. The study showed that 62% of females had no idea about the chemicals contained in cosmetics and their effects while 26% were somewhat aware while 12% were curious about them. Only 0% (zero percent) fell into the categories of ally and advocate. The findings point out the lack of awareness in consumers concerning product labeling and safety standards. The findings also point out the need for nurse-led health education programs and preventive counseling to encourage safe practices.
