Kissing is considered is one of the most romantic way to express love and desire. Researchers claim it to have pain relieving effect, but very few people know that it can be fatal if kissed while lipstick is put on.
Most Lipsticks contain a small amount of lead. Lead has been banned in paint since 1978 because of its toxicity at low levels, but it still shows up in small amounts in some of the best-selling lipstick brands. It gets accumulated in the body increasing the level of Lead Exposure to human beyond safety limits over time. While females who put on Lipsticks are most vulnerable, males also get exposed to it while kissing.
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, which did an analysis of a study of lead in lipstick conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, wants consumers to know that most of the 400 different lipsticks tested were positive for the substance
Five of the nine lipstick brands with the most lead are sold by LOreal , the worlds largest cosmetics maker. LOreals ‘Color Sensational’ Pink Petal had the most lead of any lipstick tested at 7.19 parts per million. Lipsticks pose no safety concerns for the millions of women who use them daily
