Lipsticks contains toxic metals

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley`s School of Public Health detected lead, cadmium, chromium, aluminum and five other metals in lipsticks, some of which were found at levels that could raise potential health concerns.

They tested 32 different lipsticks and lip glosses commonly found in drugstores and department stores.

Prior studies also have found metals in cosmetics, but the UC Berkeley researchers estimated risk by analyzing the concentration of the metals detected and consumers` potential daily intake of the metals, and then comparing this intake with existing health guidelines.

"Just finding these metals isn`t the issue; it`s the levels that matter," study principal investigator S. Katharine Hammond, professor of environmental health sciences said.

"Some of the toxic metals are occurring at levels that could possibly have an effect in the long term," Hammond said.
