Neurotoxins Are So Last Season

So, I finally checked that site to see which lipsticks were full of lead. This is the word:

Among the leading brands found to contain high levels of lead were:

  • L’Oreal Colour Riche “True Red” – 0.65 ppm
  • L’Oreal Colour Riche “Classic Wine” – 0.58 ppm
  • Cover Girl Incredifull Lipcolor “Maximum Red” – 0.56 ppm
  • Christian Dior Addict “Positive Red” – 0.21 ppm
  • - The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics

    Page 10 of the report, "A Poison Kiss," has a longer list of culprits, and gives some context as to how high these levels really are (pretty freaking high.) The report isn't a complex read, just an interesting one. If you finish it and find yourself pissed off, you can take action here.
