Makeup is pretty awesome. While women (or men) who are big fans of makeup will probably have their entire vanity filled with different makeup products, even the woman who doesn’t enjoy makeup regularly, enjoys the smear of lipstick on a certain occasion. There’s just something uplifting about that bullet of colour!
While may think about think a lot about the shade they choose, or the brands that like, not much thought is given about the ingredients that go into the making of that darn lipstick. Ironically, it is probably the most important thing you must look at while picking up lipstick.
Despite the efforts that have been put in, into the awareness, many lipsticks contain a harmful ingredient, lead. Many popular brands out there use lead while making their lipstick. One must note that applying a product with lead in them can easily be ingested by the wearer, and turn out to be carcinogenic.
Lead poisoning is a serious issue. It has many other health risks. It can lead to behavioural issues and cause learning disabilities too. It can also cause havoc with someone’s hormones and infertility. It has also lead to hypertension and other heart-related issues.
So the next time you’re out on a hunt for your new lipstick, be sure to ensure your lipstick isn’t formulated with lead. Flip that label.
Hope this helps you all out!
