Something to consider next time you go shopping for lipstick......
This comes from someone who works in the breast cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital, in Toronto. From: Dr. Nahid Neman. If there is a female you care anything about, share this with her. I did!!!!! I am also sharing this with the males on my email list, because they need to tell the females THEY care about as well!
Recently a lipstick brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
The lipstick Brands that contain lead are:
1. CHRISTIAN DIOR
2. LANCOME
3. CLINIQUE
4. Y.S.L
5. ESTEE LAUDER
6 SHISEIDO
7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
9. MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.
The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer. After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. lipstick contained the most amount of lead. Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.
Here is the test you can do yourself:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to black, then you know the lipstick contains lead. Please send this information to all your girlfriends, wives and female family members. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer. |

Another article:

From the website:
"One version of this hoax attempts credibility by citing a Dr. Nahid Neman from Mt. Sinai Hospital in Toronto. This doctor does not exist." |

| Wow, this is an old post. Lots of information swirling around on the internet are not coming from reputable sources. Do be careful. |

I have received so many emails in regards to this so called scientific study.  It's definitely a hoax! |

While this particular post may have come from a hoax email, it does bring up the good point of getting into the habit of looking at ingredients for our skin care and make up.
I think that most of us on here do that anyway... but just the thought that a company could use something dangerous to our health is something to be aware of.
Take care.
