Lipstick Lead--Sounds like the name of a rock band...

    A good friend of mine pointed out testing results done by the FDA on lipsticks for lead. I wasn't surprised to find brands like L'Oreal, MAC, Mary Kay and sadly one of my old favorite make up companies Lancome on the list. But what I was surprised to find was Burt's Bees lip shimmers. Aren't they supposed to be eco-friendly and all natural? What I was also shocked to find was that they were owned by CLOROX?! Are you kidding me? Why on earth does Clorox own Burt's Bees? Shouldn't they be arch enemies? Makes me wonder about my beloved chap stick I'm putting on my lips on these past dry days...

    Check out the findings here. Have any of your lipsticks made the list? Two of mine did and sadly, we must say goodbye. Another reason why I love Shaklee. I don't have to worry about finding their products on the list because I know how thorough their testing is. Burt's Bees on the other hand, I might be doing some phone calls to find out about my chap stick... Have any of your lipsticks made the list? Two of mine did and sadly, we must say goodbye.

  1. It's interesting you mention this. I have skin sensitivities and always look for natural products. I have tried several of Burt's Bee lip balm and each them either made my lips burn or develop small red blisters.
