The UK cosmetics industry has dismissed these concerns on chemical in the products as out of hand. But one giant skin-product manufacturer has now broken ranks.
Women swallow up to 1.5 kilos of lipstick in their lifetime
The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) has dismissed the latest research as irrelevant because it only involved tests on mice rather than humans. The association adds that the amounts of triclosan used in the experiments exceeded the maximum permitted levels in cosmetics.
It has pledged to remove a host of potentially harmful chemicals from its products, including triclosan and parabens a type of preservative commonly found in lipstick.
These are linked to problems such as dermatitis skin inflammation and possible kidney damage in the long term. 'Their extraction from the human body takes over 40 years,' the study warned.
Similar studies have found lipsticks containing methacrylate, a form of adhesive, which can irritate the skin.
Manufacturers don't actually add lead to lipstick: it's naturally present in the minerals they use for bright pigments.
In response, L'Oreal said: 'The lead levels detected by the FDA in the study are also within the limits recommended by global public health authorities for cosmetics, including lipstick.'
Chemicals called phthalates found in make-up have also been linked to weight gain
Thomas adds: 'As for lead levels, it depends on the lipstick. More and more manufacturers are using mineral products for the pigments in their lipstick. These minerals are mined from the ground, and any mined product will contain lead, as well as other potential dangers such as arsenic and cadmium.'
Ironically, lead levels in some lipsticks have increased because of consumer demand for more 'natural' cosmetics. Make-up made with natural ingredients might sound healthier for your skin and often they are but with intense modern lipstick shades, the opposite can be true, thanks to the high lead levels in some mined pigments.
