The Huffington Post has a great article up about some of the crazy things in everyday products. The article goes through examples such as lead in lipstick, as well as BPA and Phthalates in cosmetics, frangrances, and packaging.
Now I mentioned phthalates in my first post about chemicals in cosmetics, but the lead in lipstick surprised me. The link they provide to the "I am not a Guinea Pig" website is easy to use and informative. For instance, over 62,000 chemicals were grandfathered in with the Toxic Substances Control Act and have never been tested for safety.
