One of the cosmetics that cannot be separated from most women is lipstick. In fact, this tool to beautify the lips is suspected to often contain dangerous ingredients. Hazardous ingredients in lipstick are thought to cause serious health dilemmas.
Lipstick that is sold freely on the market is often rumored to contain dangerous metals that can have a negative effect on health. Also, some of these dangerous metals are detected at an alarming rate. Below are some dangerous ingredients in lipstick that can be harmful to your health.
Heavy metal
One of the heavy metals that may be found in lipstick is lead. Lead is heavy metal which is dangerous to the way nerves and organs of the human body including the kidneys and bones. This heavy metal can also play a role in triggering cancer.
Besides lead, there are some heavy metals that are common in lipstick, including aluminum, cadmium, mercury, chromium, arsenic, and manganese. In addition to the above risks, such long-term metal lines can increase the risk of cancer, skin damage, neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, bone, liver and kidney damage. Heavy metal in lipstick has the potential to be absorbed into the body through the skin of the lips.
Trichosan
Other ingredients in the lipstick that are associated with the adverse effects of body health are trichlosan. This material is a chemical compound that is used to prevent bacterial infections. In addition to lipstick, ordinary trichlosan is contained in toothpaste products, face wash soap, soap and facial scrubs.
Concern about trichlosan begins with animal research. In such research, these compounds have been shown to reduce muscle strength and work of the heart muscle, affect hormones and trigger cancer cell growth. Test results in the laboratory also show that trichlosan can cause bacterial immunity to antibiotics. It's just that, because research is so limited to animals, further research is needed to describe the same effect in humans.
Phthalates
Another ingredient in potentially dangerous human lipstick is phthalates. This is a chemical that is used to make plastics, detergents and glue.
Based on research carried out on animals, phthalates can trigger irritation. More research is needed to describe the negative effects of phthalates on human health.
The ingredients above are some examples of prohibited substances that are not allowed to be put into cosmetics according to the BPOM provisions. At present there is no long-term study that addresses hazardous ingredients in lipstick to health. Despite the fact that further research is needed to describe the effects of harmful substances in lipstick, women in particular should remain cautious.
Check the composition of lipstick and make sure the cosmetics you use have permission from BPOM (Food and Drug Supervisory Agency). Also observe the usage regulations and warnings listed on the packaging to minimize risk. In addition to lipstick, you can also try to redden your lips naturally to enhance your appearance.
