Your red lipstick might cause a brain damage!10/11/2007 10:02 PM | 
Your red lipstick might cause ...
The latest study has found lead in 61% of the tested lipsticks! What does it mean? "Learning, language and behavioral problems such as lowered IQ, reduced school performance and increased aggression. Pregnant women and young children are particularly vulnerable to lead exposure. Lead easily crosses the placenta and enters the fetal brain where it can interfere with normal development. Lead has also been linked to infertility and miscarriage. "
The following products contained detectable levels of lead (none of these lipsticks listed lead as an ingredient):
-L’Oreal Colour Riche “True Red”, L’Oreal Colour Riche “Classic Wine", Cover Girl Incredifull Lipcolor “Maximum Red” and Dior Addict “Positive Red” . As you can see price is not necessarily an indicator of quality.
Check out The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics http://www.safecosmetics.org/ for more info about lead and cosmetics, and think twice before applying that red lipstick! I'm getting rid of mine... for now at least...
