tee 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2008 Hi Girls, One of my friend forward me this e-mail so I thought no harm to share. Just want to know whether it's true or not. So girl express your opinions regarding this matter or if you came across similar info.Thanks. Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth' Decreased their prices from$67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer. The lipstick brands that contain lead are:CHRISTIAN DIOR LANCÔME CLINIQUEY.S.L ESTEE LAUDER SHISEIDO RED EARTH (Lip Gloss) CHANEL (Lip Conditioner) MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK. The higher the lead content, The greater the chance of causing cancer. After doing a test on lipsticks, It was found that the Y.S.L. LipstickContained the most amount of lead. Watch out for those lipsticksWhich are supposed to stay longer.If your lipstick stays longer, it isBecause 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 colour changes to black, Then you know the lipstick contains lead. Please send this information to all your girlfriends, Wives and female family members. Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, Especially breast cancer * Lead - Lead (pronounced /ˈlɛd/) is a main group element with a symbol Pb (Latin: plumbum). Lead has the atomic number 82. Lead is a soft, malleable poor metal, also considered to be one of the heavy metals. Lead has a bluish white color when freshly cut, but tarnishes to a dull grayish color when it is exposed to air and is a shiny chrome silver when melted into a liquid. Lead is used in building construction, lead-acid batteries, bullets and shot, weights, and is part of solder, pewter, and fusible alloys. Lead has the highest atomic number of all stable elements, although the next element, bismuth, has a half-life so long (longer than the estimated age of the universe) it can be considered stable. Like mercury, another heavy metal, lead is a potent neurotoxin that accumulates in soft tissues and bone over time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emi 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2008 Hi im here, i dont think its true, well if it is true the amount cant harm you. If its dangerous then the USA FDA will not approve the selling of the lipsticks in the USA coz the US FDA is really strict about cosmetics products.
