Like moisturizers? Prepare to die.

If you use any of four specific moisturizers (one of which is no longer sold, but the others are—gasp!—available at many fine retailers) and happen to be a mouse, your chance of skin cancer could be increased by as much as 95%.

Especially interesting:

The moisturizers did not cause cancer in the mice. That came from their early-life radiation exposure. But the creams did make skin cancers grow faster and more readily.

Who should worry now: Mice who use skin cream.

Why most of us shouldn’t freak out quite yet: No biological mechanism is known that could cause an increase in skin cancer rate (one of the criteria of causation).
