Lead in Your Lipstick??


Ok, so I had heard that there is a HUGE amount of animal fat found in many lipsticks, but LEAD??? You betcha.
"In fact, there are no F.D.A. standards limiting lead and other toxins in lipstick. The agency leaves it up to manufacturers to decide which safety and efficacy tests to perform on products. Cosmetics companies are required to list their “intended” ingredients on labels. But lead would be considered an “unintended” byproduct of the manufacturing process."
Interesting article.
