Finding out you have a tumor is a nightmare concerning consumer products. You suddenly start to query everything. Is this product good for me? Is that one? If you are careful about what you put into your body when you eat, you should probably be careful about what you put on it. Skin is quite permeable or things absorb into it easily.
All people should be concerned about products. There is no regulation in this field, they are allowed to put dangerous chemicals into products and it is buyer beware.
This is one of my favorite product search guides: GoodGuide.
Also for cosmetics: EWG: Skindeep.
Personally here are some products I've found to be completely or at least fairly safe that are in my buy list: Burt's Bees, Tarte Cosmetics, Pacifica perfumes, Jane Iredale (great liquid eyeliner), Kiss my Face, Hugo, Giovanni. Sally Hansen for nails.
Natural products like coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, lemon, etc. can go a long way as well. The Free People Blog has some interesting d.i.y. cosmetic options.
If you have concerns with these products, please just leave a comment. Using products is a work in progress, constantly changing. I do have to say, I've changed everything I use from deodorant to shampoo. There are some good products out there.
