Lipstick warning....what do you think? Does it worry you?

ATLANTA (Reuters) - Lipsticks tested by a U.S. consumer rights group found that more than half contained lead and some popular brands including Cover Girl, L'Oreal and Christian Dior had more lead than others, the group said on Thursday.

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics said tests on 33 brand-name red lipsticks by the Bodycote Testing Group in Santa Fe Spring, California, found that 61 percent had detectable lead levels of 0.03 to 0.65 parts per million (ppm).

Lipstick, like candy, is ingested. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a coalition of public health, environmental and women's groups, said the FDA has not set a limit for lead in lipstick.

i did read about this. i dislike wearing lipstick so it doesn't affect me; that being said how ridiculous that this is true!

Actually I was floored by this article.....we haven't had lead in paint
for years already, why in the world would it be in lipstick??

obsessed said:

I wonder if it's in lipgloss too???

i rarely wear makeup any way

When I do wear lipstick, it's usually been Revelon recently, which I believe
I saw on the safe list....but I've used all those others throughout the years,
as well. It really is rather scary.

I've never really noticed I guess...some lipsticks and gloss
come in a plastic wrapper....I'm wondering now if ingredients
are listed? Probably couldn't read em anyway.. lol

It's probably a good thing...who knows what cosmetic they'll
find it in next...

I thought this thread was going to be about my dong.
