2002 and 2016. The study defines "cosmetics" as products meant to "cleanse, beautify, promote attractiveness or alter appearance." Rebecca McAdams, Study author, via CNN Nail care products caused the most injuries, followed by
skincare and perfumes. 75% of injuries were caused by the consumption of cosmetic products.
