I've just been emailed this, does anyone know if this is true or is it a hoax ?
Beware expensive lipsticks!
%26gt;
%26gt;Hi Ladies %26amp; Gentlemen, Plse try this with your partners lipstick or
%26gt;female friends , I have tried this and very surprised on result, had to
%26gt;throw out two lipsticks.
%26gt;
%26gt;From: Dr. Nahid Neman
%26gt;
%26gt;If there is a female you care anything about, share this with her. I
%26gt;Did! I am also sharing this with the males on my email list, because
%26gt;They need to tell the females THEY care about as well. Recently a
%26gt;lipstick brand called ';Red Earth'; decreased their prices From $67 to
%26gt;$9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes Cancer. The
%26gt;lipstick Brands that contain lead are:
%26gt;
%26gt;1. CHRISTIAN DIOR
%26gt;2. LANCOME
%26gt;3. CLINIQUE
%26gt;4. Y.S.L
%26gt;5. ESTEE LAUDER
%26gt;6 SHISEIDO
%26gt;7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
%26gt;8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
%26gt;9. MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.
%26gt;
%26gt;The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer.
%26gt;After doing a testLipstick contains lead?
It is unreliable, at best. The format of the email is basically the same as phony emails telling you you've won some prize from someplace even though you never entered a contest.
So, lipstick may indeed contain lead, but this unsolicited email is probably not to be trusted.
Check the Wikipedia entry on lipstick... if there's ever a controversy about the subject, Wikipedia will probably let people know about it. Also, check the other site.
It's not impossible that some lipstick does, did, or will contain lead. After all, many things that we use on a daily basis probably cause cancer. But these things have not been proven, and in particular, this assertion about lipstick is unfounded.
Man, I never thought I would write so much about lipstick...
God bless.Lipstick contains lead?
It's true
This is false just a hoax. lead is toxic u wont find it in cosmetics, i work for a company run by the estee lauder group and believe me why would they risk a lucrative business empire to put lead in a product. first of all lead was used for lightening the skin centuries ago nd caused death do what benifit would the company gain by putting a toxic murderous chemical in a product.
Its not likely any major brand lipsticks contain a harm full amount of lead (Lead is a highly toxic substance). There are many ways in which humans are exposed to lead: through deteriorating paint(Until 1978, lead paint was commonly used on the interiors and exteriors of our homes), household dust, bare soil, air, drinking water, food, ceramics, home remedies, hair dyes and other cosmetics. Much of this lead is of microscopic size, invisible to the naked eye. Not much lead enters your body through your skin. For adults approximately 6% of lead that enters the stomach makes it into the blood stream. THERE IS NO CONCLUSIVE PROOF THAT LEAD CAUSES CANCER IN HUMANS.
thanks for the info! Dont think i will be buying any of those!
F**k it. Aren't we all gonna get cancer and die anyway? At least we can look good whilst we're alive.
Lead is illegal to use. SO NO! Dont believe everything you read.
I just did a search on lipstick containing lead and the first three entries at least had the e-mail you have just posted and information about how this is a hoax and how lead content in lipstick is closely monitered by the FDA to ensure that this would not happen. Don't panic. You have a hoax e-mail.
I didn't know that - thanks for telling me. Those brands are the kinds my daughter uses!
Only a very small range of lipsticks contain lead and even then only trace amounts. Lead doesn't cause cancer either, so you shouldn't worry.
don't c how it can cause cancer unless u consume the lead...i mean...maybe if u lick ur chops 2 much...lol..but thx for the heads up! i don't kno if its a hoax or not..this is the first time i'm hearing this...
I work for estee lauder, we were told that we arnt supposed to mention it if asked but yes they do contain small amounts of lead. They arnt harmful enough to cause cancer or anything else among that nature. Dont freak out and think back woman have been wearing lipstick for a LONG time and no one really had cancer based from a make up.

Brands of lipstick with lead?
I want to know if all lipsticks have lead ';I was just told so'; I just want to know if its true? And what brands dont can anyone help?Brands of lipstick with lead?
That was in the USA TODAY newspaper a few days ago. I know Revlon was one of them. Their spokesperson actually said, ';Even though the lead exceeds the USA standards, it's no big deal';. True.
I would suggest now that their nasty little secret is out, you should be able to visit any manufacturers website and find out.Brands of lipstick with lead?

Hey Girl welcome Back,!!
did you ever try colored gloss lip sticks,
they come in natural color too
it comes in tubes like mascara
you use the brush to apply that's in the tube,,
i learned a trick from my daughter never blot your lips
once you apply it you stick your thumb in your mouth
and pull it out and it whips off the excesses on your thumb
and you Wipe it off with a tissue you
will never have it smeared on your teeth
I use my index finger, colors are softer and your lips do not feel so dry.. they have this for eye shadows too.so much easier to
use
most lipsticks have some form of lead, but NO brands have an amount that is dangerous to anyone.
Cover Girl does, Revlon doesn't.
i know some brands make it cow manure

I understand that many lipsticks contain lead which could lead to cancer in people using them , is this right?
I recently had an e mail suggesting that all of the top branded lipsticks contained lead and this has been confirmed to be true by numerous universities, It sounded interesting so I thought people should know !I understand that many lipsticks contain lead which could lead to cancer in people using them , is this right?
A study by US consumer group Campaign For Safe Cosmetics, in October 2007 found 60 percent of lipsticks tested contained traceable amounts of lead. The levels of lead varied from 0.03 to 0.65 parts per million. One third of the lipsticks containing lead exceeded the 0.1ppm limit set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for lead in candy.
Lead poisoning (also known as saturnism, plumbism, or painter's colic) is a medical condition caused by increased levels of the metal lead in the blood. Lead may cause irreversible neurological damage as well as renal disease, cardiovascular effects, and reproductive toxicity.I understand that many lipsticks contain lead which could lead to cancer in people using them , is this right?
This is a hoax put about by nasty people who want us to believe that modern products cause cancer. See this FAQ page of Cancer Research UK:
http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/?page=鈥?/a>
Lead causes problems with haemoglobin metabolism not cancer and there are strict controls in the UK and other countries in its use in cosmetics and other products
lead doesnt cause cancer
when i get one of 'those' type e-mails, my first thoguht is to check 'snopes' ( http://www.snopes.com ) the urban legend people, to see if there is any truth
99% of forwarded e-mail warnings are untrue rubbish
{edit} sure enough it's in snopes

I have heard that too but I if your concerned about it just use natural products. I use natural lip balms on the basis that a lot of sticks use ground up fish scales to make it shiny. I just stick to Berts beewax products.

make up?MAKE-UP%26gt; do make up (like lipstick) has lead? is it the culprit why my skin becomes dull. I regularyly use?
YES! Most red to pink lipsticks and glosses have lead. It is a cheap way to add red coloring and also a cheap way to have the lipsticks/glosses stay on longer.
The lipsticks and glosses I use are from Bee-Luscious and they have no lead! All the colors they use are FDA approved.
Also many foundations and powders have bismuth and talc. These clog your pores and can cause irritation and breakouts.Again Bee-Luscious is a company that does not cut corners to compromise health for profits. I love their make-up and skincare because of this and they use all natural ingredients in their make-up and skincare lines.

Some red lipsticks have lead. It wasn't found in other makeup. They said it was safe, but I'd just wear other shades for a while.
