Some chemicals in makeup can be potentially dangerous if you ingest them, but they won't cause any problems if you apply it to your face.

Shampoo and soaps contain chemicals. Sunscreen and lotion also contain chemicals. Cosmetics companies are given a list of FDA approved chemicals. They work with those chemicals. Those chemicals won't cause cancer; many cosmetic products are tested to ensure that your product won't cause any danger to your face and body. Cosmetics are tested before they are sold and shipped to stores. No labs would release harmful cosmetic products to the public because there is a possibility of a lawsuit or media attention.

Is organic cosmetic better then non organic?

Yes, because plants often transport toxins and chemicals (such as pesticides) into their fats and oils. Since there are oils in cosmetics, these toxins get in the cosmetics and are absorbed into the skin. However, organic cosmetics contain oils that are not from plants treated with chemicals, and so the oils are not toxic. However, remember that even organic cosmetics can have a variety of harmful chemicals (as well as soy oil which can make you lose your hair).
