It’s National Lipstick Day, do you know what’s in your lipstick?
Think about this:
You kiss your babies.
You kiss your significant other.
You eat or drink something.
You apply it multiple times a day.
What you put on your body matters. It matters for your health and when it comes to lipstick, it matters for your family’s health too.
It’s said the average woman will eat 4 to 7 pounds of lipstick in her lifetime.
Regardless if the amount is accurate, what you put on your lips, you will inevitably consume.
Conventional Lipsticks can contain:
Petroleum
Undisclosed Fragrances
Undisclosed Flavors
Mineral Oil
Phenoxyethanol
Parabens
BHT
Heavy Metals
All are harmful to your health
61 percent of lipsticks contained lead
Brands including L’Oreal, Cover Girl and even a $24 tube of Dior Addict
You won’t find lead or any heavy metal on the label since it’s a contaminant.
Exposure to lead has been linked to:
- Neurotoxicity: learning, language and behavioral problems.
- Reduced fertility in both men and women
- Hormonal changes and menstrual irregularities
- Delayed onset of puberty in girls and development of testes in boys
