"In 2007, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics tested 33 popular brands of lipstick and published their shocking find: 61% of those lipsticks contained lead, even trusted ‘natural’ brands like Burt’s Bees. Levels ranged up to 0.65 parts per million – and experts say even tiny amounts can be harmful. Unfortunately, it’s now 2009 and many brands of lipstick still contain this hazardous substance.So, when you’re applying a sexy red pout for your Valentine’s Day date this Saturday, make sure your chosen lip color is lead-free. Lead isn’t listed on the ingredients, so you can’t go by that – check out this list of 11 lead-free lipsticks at The Daily Green for surefire choices."
