Almost all women use lipstick every day. And so the vendors decorate the shops with different colors and famous brands of lipstick. But did you know that lipstick can be the cause of deadly cancer? A recent study found such information.
Some of the metallic ingredients present in lipstick can cause a lot of damage to the human body, said a researcher who participated in the study. The study was published in the official journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have selected 14 girls between the ages of 14 and 19. They are all Aucklanders. The names and brands of the lipsticks and lipglosses they used were learned from them and samples were brought from them. The researchers surveyed 8 lipsticks and 24 lipglosses.
When the researchers found out about the ingredients in the lipsticks in the laboratory, they found the presence of carcinogens, cadmium, chromium, aluminum and 5 other harmful substances in the human body.
The researchers said that most lipsticks have a low presence of these ingredients. These ingredients pass from the lips to the stomach and cause many more problems, including deadly cancer.
