Ladies - If I may offer something to consider as an alternative to lipstick, just for the days you might want to dress down a little - white hemp necklaces are very beautiful.

So I am guessing (just a guess!) that sheer lip colors will contain less lead, if any. Thanks for all the other suggestions. Especially the comment about kids; they are by far the most susceptible to the mental effects of lead poisoning. Yeah, it seems the more matte, darker lip colors contain more lead.

It has red roses in it that create the color, its a good alternative to lipstick, I am pretty sure its lead free. Go to besswork.com and check it out. You can buy on their website or at organicselections.com There is a lip rouge by BeesWork called Red Roses.

They have very high organic ingredient content and they don't use carmine (crushed beetles) like some of the natural companies do. They are dedicated to organics and really care about their products. Check out their website - they recycle the plastic tubes, give you a coupon when you send them your old cell phone which they send to a battered women's center - their goodwill is amazing AND they don't have lead in their products!

That’s not good.
