By now, we’re all aware that many lipsticks contain lead — but what about other toxic chemicals?

A new study from the University of California-Berkeley’s School of Public Health found that 32 commonly sold lipsticks and lip glosses contain lead as well as cadmium, chromium, aluminum and five other metals — some at potentially toxic levels.

“Just finding these metals isn’t the issue. It’s the levels that matter,” says co-author S. Katharine Hammond, professor of environmental health. “This study is saying, ‘FDA, wake up and pay attention.’”

Any lipstick user knows that unless you wipe off your lipstick on a tissue or stranger’s face, you end up ingesting it along with your food, requiring you to reapply. The study found that the average user applies lipstick 2.3 times daily and ingests 24 milligrams daily; a heavy user can apply it up to 14 times and consume an average of 83 milligrams per day.

Even if you’re an average user, researchers are concerned about women ingesting too much chromium, a carcinogen linked to stomach tumors.

Meanwhile, some of those in the cosmetics industry claim that these chemicals are found in food at higher levels.

What’s most troubling is that the USA has no standards for metal content in cosmetics. In 2011, the FDA studied 400 kinds of lip products and found that the levels of lead posed no threat, but the European Union views cadmium, chromium and lead as unacceptable ingredients at any level.

Luckily, we now have a lot of options for natural, organic and lead-free lipstick. Check out these 25 different organic and mineral lip products from Saffron Rouge. In addition, here’s a list of six lead-free lipsticks and 11 more options from The Daily Green.
