The price of beauty should never be comprised with our health, and it alarms me that many high profile brands are still using toxic chemicals in their products.

Most recently lead has been found in various lipsticks from companies that really should know better.

Reports are that nearly one third of lipsticks have levels of lead that exceed acceptable levels.

Personally I think NO lipstick or any cosmetic should contain ANY harmful or toxic ingredients and when there are safe alternatives on the market, I still cannot fathom why high profile companies would continue to do so, except perhaps to inflate their already high profit margins.

The Lazy Spa Girl only recommends totally safe natural cosmetics with no mineral oil, petrochemicals, petroleum products, animal by-products or other nasty ingredients.
