Lipsticks May Pose Health Risks

The FDA has reported that over four hundred different types of lipsticks on the market tested positive for lead. Lead is dangerous because it can build up in a person's body causing blood and brain damage. Maybelline Color Sensation by L'Oreal, a very popular brand of lipstick was one of the worst offenders as it contained more than two hundred and seventy-five times the lead as similar products. Alternatively, Wet & Wild Mega Mixers Lip Balm is considered a less expensive lipstick and has some of the lowest traces of lead. Smaller lipstick manufacturers have claimed this finding demonstrates the larger manufactures have placed profits ahead of consumer protection.
