Lipstick danger: the redder the colour, the more lead it has?
STOMPer Yu Qing raised the concern that the trace amounts of lead found in lipsticks may be harmful to health. Apparently, the redder the lipstick colour, the more lead it contains.
However, according to various reports, the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has conducted tests in 2009 and 'does not consider the lead levels that it found in lipsticks to be a safety concern'.
The STOMPer shared:
"Lipstick is one of the most favoured cosmetic of any woman.
"But this must-have personal cosmetic has been in the news for the wrong reasons. Lead has been found in lipsticks, not just cheap quality ones, but also in those made by giant cosmetic brands.
"These brands also confirm the use of lead in their lipsticks ,but also say that they are relatively safe to use as it is a small quantity.
"It is not illegal for a lipstick manufacturer to use lead,any amount, in his products. And it is not mandatory for him to subject it to safety testing before launching the product.
"Many studies show that out of the total number of the lipsticks toxicology reports, around one-third are safe to use.These contain no lead.
"That means I have to look for a lipstick that contains no lead. It is not mandatory for the manufacturer to list lead as one of the ingredients being used.
"You should look for the natural lipsticks or herbal lipsticks that are safer.
"The toxicologists also give us a clue.The redder the lipstick colour,the more lead it contains. So,stick to colours away from red while shopping at the cosmetic store."
STOMP understands that concerns over lead in lipsticks have surfaced since 2003. The FDA has been reassuring consumers that the lead levels it found in red lipsticks are very small and not a health threat.
