What are the dangers of inferior lipstick

Lipstick is the most common cosmetic. Applying lipstick moderately can make a woman's face more three-dimensional and make her more confident. However, if you use some inferior lipsticks, it will cause great harm to your health. We know that lipstick contains a certain amount of heavy metal lead, especially inferior lipsticks have a higher content, which can easily enter the body through diet, causing certain harm.

2. The lanolin in lipstick has strong adsorption capacity and can adsorb dust, bacteria, viruses and some heavy metal ions in the air onto the lip mucosa. When people drink water or eat food, they can bring lipstick and the harmful substances on it into their mouths and enter the body directly.

3. The coal tar dyes used in all lipsticks are terrible carcinogens, and the amount of this substance contained in lipsticks has far exceeded the amount allowed in food. After putting on lipstick, it is inevitable that the lipstick will be licked off and enter the human body unintentionally while talking, drinking tea or eating.

4. According to relevant foreign data, among young female cancer patients, 18.2% of the causes are related to lipstick. Lipstick contains high amounts of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. Lead is cumulative. Long-term inhalation by the human body may lead to chronic lead poisoning, causing anemia, abdominal pain, acute renal failure, and brain neuropathy.

5. Preservatives and antioxidants BHA. These substances have been proven to be quasi-carcinogens. For example, preservatives (parabens) can cause breast tumors. ?

6. Artificial pigments in lipstick may turn into mutagens and cause cancer under ultraviolet light.

7. Sweet-smelling lipsticks contain saccharin, which has been proven to cause cancer if consumed in excess.

Summarize

Using lipstick that complies with inspection regulations and not using inferior cosmetics whose production and distribution links are not controlled will have minimal impact on your body. Every healthy person contains lead in their body and it is impossible to avoid it completely, so there is no need to be afraid of lead when it comes to cosmetics.

But no matter what, lipstick is a product synthesized under chemical conditions and its safety does not reach food grade. If you really have extremely high requirements for safety, you can also choose some lipsticks on the market that are strictly produced according to food grade standards, or develop meticulous habits, such as wiping off lipstick before every meal or drink.
