Environmental group EcoWaste Coalition has warned the public – women in particular – that imitation lipsticks that are now in the market may contain toxic chemicals that raises grave health concerns.
“Women beware: those imitation lipsticks that you are using to get that luscious red pout may contain toxic impurities that can eventually damage your health,’’ EcoWaste Coalition warned.
“Although forbidden as ingredient in cosmetic products, we find some lipsticks, particularly those without market authorization, contaminated with high levels of lead,” said Dizon. Dizon bewailed the unethical and unlawful sale of lipsticks that are cheap, but loaded with lead way above the regulatory limit.
“The lead contaminant in these lipsticks may be due to the use of impure and low quality raw materials and the poor manufacturing processes,” Dizon explained.
