Lipstick May Be Toxic

Lipstick May Be Toxic

In 2007 the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics released a report that found lead in half of the 33 brand-name lipsticks they tested. Although the FDA has no standards for regulating cosmetics and the tested lead-levels would not pose a health threat for most, the authors of the report advise that pregnant women and small children avoid using lipstick because lead exposure can disrupt normal development. Even low levels of lead can add up, since lead is also commonly found in paint and drinking water.

At the Store: Among the top brands testing positive for lead were L'Oreal's Colour Riche "True Red" and "Classic Wine," Cover Girl's Incredifull Lipcolor "Maximum Red," and Dior's Addict "Positive Red."
