Oncology-friendly cosmetics treat the skin conditions experienced by patients undergoing cancer treatment without causing irritating side effects. Cancer and many of its treatment protocols reduce the ability of the body to absorb nutrients. This impacts the skin, which is the body's largest organ. Chemotherapy can cause the skin to dry out and become more sensitive. However, many skin care and makeup products contain fragrances and other chemicals that can cause inflammation.
Cosmetics and skin care products that feature the oncology-friendly label have been lab-tested to ensure that they do not damage or irritate ultrasensitive skin. Many of these products also address common skin ailments, such as flakiness, hyperpigmentation, and acne. Some facial creams also provide protection against UVA and UVB rays. Patients should always consult with their doctors before starting a new beauty regimen.
