I love lipstick and so do many of you. We all use it on a daily base and
we apply it several times a day, some of us prefer the lighter and
shinier version of a lipstick, the lip-gloss! We all bother with the
color and the texture but not many of us bother to know what we ingest
because of this beauty addiction.I also never looked much into lipstick
as I always have so many other things to look deep
into, but as the cosmetic scandals are back and because lately I have
developed some chemistry cosmetic obsession I took time to do some
lip-service investigation.Lipstick and lip-gloss are often ingested over the course of the day so
the impact of any toxin is heightened above and beyond skin absorption
levels.
Both Canada and the European Union regulate allowable levels of heavy
metals in cosmetics. The European Union has banned the presence of
cadmium, chromium and lead altogether in cosmetics, but there is still a poor regulation regarding cosmetics and that why it was found concerning levels of nine heavy metals in many of the lip products, no matter what brand they were or how much they cost.
