Makeup hidden toxins
20.03.2020
Cyanide, arson, mercury and lead are only some of the harmful chemicals and heavy metals that can be found in decorative cosmetics that women are putting on their skin on a daily basis. Although even a small amount of harmful substances is found and go into the body through the makeup we use, all those substances get accumulated and after some time they just exceed the permissible quantity. Some metals you can usually find in your makeup; such as lead for example. Lead is a problematic metal, because it can be absorbed through the skin. This metal is an integral component of the lipstick, which is why the minimal amount of lead in each lipstick was allowed.
