The beauty industry is one of the most reckless and and capriciously hazardous consumer-facing industries there is. Online retailers are filled with insanely dangerous beauty products, like high power lasers that don't even come with safety googles. Many of their chemical products are unproven at best, often outright hazardous to use at all without a fume hood. Parasites and synthetic stimulants sold as weight loss products, the list goes on and on.

Even best tested chemicals are tested for their effects for what, 6-months? If something takes longer to damage, or damages only few, you're going to potential pay the real price.

Not unlike fake UV protection fitted glasses, that not only don't filter out the radiation, they're dimming enough to make your eyes allow more of it in the result.
