Girls, do Bath and Body Works products give you cancer?

[MasqueradeMassacre]

Guys can help too with this because they sell men products as well.

I'm curious because they have a ton of colored dye in the them.

Completely unnecessary stuff for the answer, but information about cancer you can apply elsewhere:

Cancer is caused by a mutation of a proto oncogene into an oncogene which causes it to gain function and proliferate, or through the disabling of what should cause cell death - instead causing it to proliferate. Metastasis is when a cell reverts to its "infancy" and will separate from its home and then travels elsewhere in the body and re-differentiates into a different type of cell, and proliferates.

Related to your question:

I highly doubt the FDA would allow cosmetic products to be sold that are known carcinogens.

Also, it's not good business to kill your customers.

Thank you for giving me a non-a**hole answer . I appreciate that. I had a sh*tty birthday yesterday.

Most likely not. There are other things out there that you should really be worried about if you want to avoid cancer.

I don't use them... they use fake fragrances, which give me a head ache and they often use petroleum products which I find to be greasy when its used in lotion (some studies say its cancerous)and are unhealthy if you burn them in candles and it's the main ingredient. Dyes are not a huge deal, not that I know of.. In my opinion none of those mall type bath shops have any benefit to the body, unlike lotions that use natural moisturizes like shea butter and coconut oil and that also use natural essential oils... burt's bee's is my favorite mainstream type of bath/body products.

I...haven't ever heard of things from bath and body works ever giving anybody cancer. :|

I've heard of people having allergic reactions because the perfume in the product doesn't mix well with them.

It doesn't seem logical for them to still be selling things if they did cause cancer, that's a big thing and it would be all over the news.

Besides I use their products all the time and I'm healthy as a horse.

You better hope you stay as healthy as a horse :p

Not that we know of. Unfortunately, science is an ever evolving thing that is built off of finding new things and proving the old things wrong. You can't live in the "someday this may be cancerous" mindset. Try to just live for now, and for now, there is nothing to say it causes cancer.

Everything can give you cancer if you go deep enough and make connections where there aren't any

Same goes for this store

[Looner]

I highly doubt it. Iv been using there products for years and I'm cancer free.

The real question would be what doesn't give you cancer, seems like any and everything we eat or have will give you cancer. I am pretty sure your computer is giving you cancer right now.

[IHateMeganFox]

Everything gives you cancer.
