Lead is a chemical which cause cancer and it exists in lipsticks. Even branded lipsticks also contain lead.
The Brands which contain lead are:
1. CHRISTIAN DIOR
2. LANCOME
3. CLINIQUE
4. Y.S.L (Yves St. Laurent)
5. ESTEE LAUDER
6. SHISEIDO
7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
9. MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK
The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer.
After doing a test on lipstick, it was found that the Yves St. Laurent (YSL) lipstick contained the most amount of lead.
You can also judge that either your lipstick contains lead or not. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.
Here is the test you can do yourself:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to black then you know the lipstick contains lead.
