First it was toys, now it’s makeup! A warning has been issued about unsafe face paint made in China. These novelty cosmetics were recently tested and 10 out of 10 were contaminated with lead, and 6 of the samples contained the known skin allergens chromium, cobalt, and nickel. Children who are exposed to this face paint can become extremely ill and there is no warning label on the products.

Please be safe and avoid this face paint altogether! We all want to enjoy Halloween and a trip to the emergency room is not festive. Stick with FDA-tested cosmetics from reputable brands and skip the stuff sold at dollar stores.
