Lead Chemical in Cosmectics...!!!!

Something to consider next time you goes shopping for lipstick

This comes from someone who works in the breast cancer unit at Mt.SinaiHospital, in Toronto

From: Dr. Nahid Neman

Recently a lipstick brand called “Red Earth” decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90.
It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes Cancer. The lipstick Brands that contain lead are:

1. CHRISTIAN DIOR
2. LANCOME
3. CLINIQUE
4. Y.S.L
5. ESTEE LAUDER
6. SHISEIDO
7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
9. MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.

The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer.

After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. lipstick contained the most amount of lead.

Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself:

  1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
  2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
  3. If the lipstick color changes to black, then you know the lipstick contains lead.

Please send this information to all your girlfriends, wives and female family members.

This information is being circulated at WalterReedArmyMedicalCenter Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer.

If not lead, then many cosmetics/household items still contain chemicals that are hazardous to us and the environment (many chemicals have not even been assessed by the FDA and they are already in the market)
