Lipstick is a favorite makeup product of women. Almost every woman owns this cosmetic. However, lipstick has very dangerous side effects that not everyone knows.
Bisphenol-A (BPA) in lipstick containers may cause infertility and cancer
Nearly 95% of lipstick containers, even those that claim to be organic and chemical-free, were found to contain BPA, which can easily leach into the lipstick applied to the lips.
BPA is an endocrine disruptor that has been found to cause reproductive problems, birth defects, and cancer.
Heavy metals in lipstick are a cause of kidney failure
Lipstick contains harmful heavy metals such as cadmium, magnesium and chromium. All of these metals can cause serious diseases and organ damage. High levels of cadmium can increase the risk of kidney failure. Regular use of lipstick can cause serious stomach tumors.

Lead is harmful to the nervous system.
Lead is a common ingredient in most lipsticks. Lead is a toxic substance that has harmful effects on the nervous system. It can also cause brain damage, hormonal imbalances, and infertility.
Petrochemicals may affect the brain
Many lipsticks contain common petrochemical ingredients, which have harmful side effects. Petrochemicals are byproducts of crude oil and natural gas. They can cause endocrine disruption that interferes with growth, development, reproduction, and intelligence.
Preservatives Used in Lipstick Cause Cancer
Preservatives used in lipsticks are formaldehyde and parabens which are known carcinogens. Lipsticks using these preservatives cause eye irritation, coughing, wheezing and skin irritation. Mineral oils used in lipsticks clog the pores of the skin and cause many long-term harmful effects.
Chemicals in lipstick are harmful to the body
Although bismuth oxychloride is a chemical used to preserve lipstick, it is extremely harmful to the body. The harmful effects of lipstick are due to the carcinogenic properties of this ingredient. Propylparaben acts as a preservative just like formaldehyde.
Using lipstick every day increases the amount of toxins
Lipsticks are used most of the time during the day. Women inadvertently absorb toxic substances while eating. This increases the impact of toxins in lipsticks. Lipsticks or lip glosses cause women to exceed the recommended daily intake for aluminum, cadmium, chromium, and manganese. These accumulate in the body over time and cause toxicity. The intake of these metals is more than 20% of their acceptable daily intake (ADI) (ADI is the maximum amount of a toxin a person can be exposed to without experiencing any serious health risks).
These are some of the major side effects caused by the toxic chemicals and heavy metals present in lipsticks. Studies have also revealed many other negative health effects. Consumers are advised to be careful and practice due diligence, research the ingredients of lipsticks before buying to ensure their health and avoid using lipsticks regularly during the day.
