Hi! I recently heard that there are lipstick manufacturers who put lead in their products. Do you know what those manufacturers are? And why do they have to put lead in it? What is it for?

Most beauty product contains 'paraben'. Or commonly known in the market as lead. It is used because of it preservatives element to cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
It can lead to cancer formation to the skin. This substance been used due to it cheap cost.
Regarding the name of the manufacturer, I think almost of beauty and pharmaceutical products used it and to my opinion the free-paraben product now is USANA products.
Thanks.
