ok so it's SOME kohl which contain lead or whatever. not ALL of them right? there are some which are tampered with

to contain lead and God knows what else that might damage the eyes.
but kohl is used since such a long time really, it goes waaaay back

I’ve used them some times as they stay longer but why is it dangerous? I mean, metal ruin the health? They are so nice. Well, I guess I should make a thorough research on that… Thanks for sharing though.

The bad news about Khol kajal is that it is unapproved for cosmetic use because it was recently found that Kohl consists of salts of heavy metals, such as antimony and lead which could damage the eye....

well the content of kohl must be something that must have remedied to by now right?

everything evolves with time, they must have produced a kohl by now which doesn't have these harmful ingredients

Do you mean eyeliner?
I don’t believe that this is true but one thing is sure that I won’t stop using it. My eyes will look too lifeless without eyeliner. I’m ready to take the risk.
