Lead In Your Lipstick?

Lead In Your Lipstick? It's Legal, But Maybe Dangerous

By Lexi Nisita

Lead, generally, is something you want to stay away from. Exposure in high levels can result in miscarriage, birth issues, hormonal problems, brain disorders, and more. So, definitely not something you want to apply to your mouth on a regular basis, right?

Unfortunately, there probably is lead in your lipstick, as crazy as it sounds. Good Morning America tested 22 different colors and brands of lipstick and lip gloss and found that all of them contained the potentially poisonous element. It's an FDA-approved amount, but it's there, and it's large enough to be traceable. Frighteningly, a number of activists and scientists believe that even at these levels — deemed low enough to be harmless — serious health issues can occur. Dr. Sean Palfrey of the Boston Lead Poisoning Prevention Program says, "what we know now is that even the lowest levels of lead can harm your IQ, your behavior, your ability to learn, so we want to make sure that it is out of everything that is in the environment of children."

He's not the only one to take this viewpoint, but others point out that there are way bigger fish to fry when it comes to chemicals in our environment — like toxic waste dumps and lead paint, for example. So, basically, it's something you might want to avoid, but you don't necessarily have to freak out about it. Good to know, we guess?

In case you do decide to go lead-free with your lippies, there are a number of great lead-free lines out there (we're fans of Jane Iredale's PureMoist Lip Colour), so you don't have to sacrifice your bright lips in the name of your health. Plus, if you're looking to go completely chemical-free with your beauty regimen, this list is a good place to start, if we do say so ourselves! (Jezebel)

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare

During winter we're not getting enough sun exposure and most of us are deficient in vitamin D. Vitamin D replenishes hydration and boosts elasticity, helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles, enhances the skin’s radiance, and helps correct sun damage and dark spots.

Dr. Gross' new Active Vitamin D Serum-Oil features ergocalciferol, the active form of vitamin D that instantly penetrates the skin to give you all the benefits of vitamin D, without having to expose yourself to the sun.
