The UK has strict laws about the production of cosmetic products. Manufacturers cannot sell a new product to the public before it has been safety tested. An organisation called The Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) provides information about regulation of cosmetics in the UK. The CTPA abides by regulations set out by the European Community. These list substances that are banned from cosmetics. Lead is banned from all cosmetics, apart from hair dyes. You can find the EC regulations on cosmetics on the web.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the lead content in food and cosmetics. They say that if there is any lead in lipstick, it is likely to be such a small amount that it will not be harmful. Another American organisation called the National Lead Information Centre provides information about lead hazards. We have searched their website and have not been able to find any references to lipstick posing a threat.Kiss proof lipstick? Cancer?
i doubt they actually use lead, as it's been banned from make-up hundreds of years ago
lead content? i would have to say your source on there being lead in lipstick is wrong. the government would be all over anyone who uses lead

There are a lot of beauty products out there that can be toxic or can cause health issues.
Duh.
I never knew that it could do that!
