Tip of the day!!!!!!


Something to consider next time you go shopping for lipstick.... ..
A number of lip colors are found to have lead as an ingredient and its level above the 0.1 PPM. The two with the highest levels were those belonging to Lo real and Cover Girl followed by one of the Dior's shade.
This amount of lead though may be not too much for and adult could be hazardous to the fetus if used by a pregnant women.
Lead is a potential neurotoxin and though it may not show any effects for a long time the accumulation of the toxin may lead to delayed neurological symptoms.
