Forget about rubbing gold rings on lipstick, here's the foolproof method to detect lead contamination in lip products that you absolutely must know.
Traditionally, people have relied on gold rings to test the lead content of lipstick. Although this method is quick and convenient, its accuracy is not high. Refer to the article below to discover effective beauty methods for yourself right at home.
1. How to Recognize Lead-Contaminated Lipstick with Absolute Precision
As you may know, lipstick often contains a significant amount of lead, which helps it last longer and maintain color. However, this not only seriously impacts health but also poses a threat to the lives and beauty routines of many women.
Therefore, according to many beauty enthusiasts, testing lipstick with water is considered the perfect method to quickly detect its lead content.
With this method, simply swipe the lipstick onto the back of your left hand, then vigorously rub it with your right finger before placing your hand into water. If the lipstick color can dissolve in water, it's considered safe, without lead contamination. However, if the color does not dissolve and instead floats on the water's surface, then it's a heavily lead-contaminated lipstick.
Another crucial method for women to pay attention to when testing for heavily lead-contaminated lipstick is when applying it to their lips. If the lipstick leaves a residue around the rim of a drinking glass after drinking water, is difficult to remove with tissue, and persists for a long time, then it is harmful lipstick, containing a large amount of chemically derived substances from animal fat.
Therefore, when choosing lipstick, women must pay special attention to the manufacturer, origin, to effectively protect their health.
