Lead in lipstick [More:]So one more time- why is it they're doing animal testing?

/crotchety
Consumerist was talking about that, too.

Amazed to see cheapie wet-n-wild was one of the safer of the bunch.

Well, I've always been a proponent of *more* animal testing.

The trouble is, getting rabbits to fill in those little bubbles with a #2 pencil is tricky, so it can be hard to discern any neurotoxicity vs. a bunny who decided to merely nibble on the pencil, leaving little lipsticky smudges.

Lip gloss is sexier, anyways.

Also: roller skates.

Alarmism. If I used lipstick, I'd continue without a second thought. The amount of lead involved is absolutely tiny, and if you're concerned about your health the time (and perhaps money) you spend doing anything about this would be better spent on almost anything else.

Bailey advises that all pregnant women consult their physician before choosing their cosmetics.


Like he or she is going to know whether Almay or L'oreal in X particular shade is better?

matthewr: given the amount of lead in seafood, the water supply and most rain, I tend to agree with you.

crush-onastick: I thought the new thing was telling pregnant women to avoid seafood, too?

kellydammit: the last two women I know who were/are pregnant were told that if they were in the habit of eating seafood prior to becoming pregnant, it was too late to refrain.
