There has been an article going around about lead in lipstick. It’s true, there is, according to the FDA.

Here is the official FDA webpage on lead in lipsticks: Lipstick and Lead: Questions and Answers.

It lists all the lipsticks tested, and the amount of lead in them, along with more information about lead and lipstick. Though the FDA says it “does not believe that the lead content found in its lipstick analysises is a safety concern, it is widely recognized there is no safe level for lead.

Better to choose a natural lipstick or lipgloss, or, better yet, use none at all (my husband doesn’t like to kiss me when I wear lipstick, so that’s a great incentive not to wear it!).
