Is there in lead in mascara and lipstick? If so, what brands are the safest?

I have heard that MANY companies use lead in lipstick and mascara, presumably as a binding agent (?).Is there in lead in mascara and lipstick? If so, what brands are the safest?
Go with an Estee Lauder brand (MAC, Bobbi Brown, Stila, Estee Lauder, Prescriptives, etc.). I made an inquiry to a certain Estee Lauder company about the whole lead-in-the-lipstick thing. This was the response I received (they responded within 24 hours, so that was very impressive to me). Check it out:





%26gt; Thank you for your interest in our products. The


%26gt; Estee Lauder Companies


%26gt; consist of Estee


%26gt; Lauder, Clinique, Prescriptives, Aramis, Origins,


%26gt; Bobbi Brown essentials,


%26gt; MAC, La Mer, Tommy


%26gt; Hilfiger, jane, Donna Karan, Aveda, Stila, Jo


%26gt; Malone, Bumble and bumble,


%26gt; and others.


%26gt;


%26gt; There is a rumor circulating via the Internet which


%26gt; states that lipsticks


%26gt; are unsafe. This story is


%26gt; false and unsubstantiated, and is typical of


%26gt; Internet rumors that spread


%26gt; inaccurate information.


%26gt;


%26gt; Lead is not part of the formula for any of our


%26gt; lipsticks. However, since


%26gt; lead is naturally present


%26gt; in air, water, and soil, there can be traces in


%26gt; parts-per-million in


%26gt; consumer products, just as


%26gt; there is in food and drinking water. The average


%26gt; amount of lead a person


%26gt; would be exposed to


%26gt; when using a lipstick is hundreds of times less than


%26gt; the amount one would


%26gt; get from breathing,


%26gt; eating, and drinking water.


%26gt;


%26gt; Estee Lauder Companies is committed to product


%26gt; quality and consumer safety.


%26gt; You can be


%26gt; certain that our lipsticks, as all of our products,


%26gt; have undergone


%26gt; long-term product safety testing


%26gt; and meet all established worldwide safety standards.


%26gt;


%26gt; Again, thank you for your interest. We hope this


%26gt; information is helpful


%26gt; and that you will look to


%26gt; The Estee Lauder Companies for all your beauty and


%26gt; fragrance needs.

Don't worry, that's just an urban legend. Modern cosmetics do not contain lead.
