Do you khol....also known as al-kahl, kajal, or surma, kohl is used in some parts of the world to enhance the appearance of the eyes, i guess all girls must have used it at least once ......

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....

traditionally i know this has been use a long time ago

I don't agree with you Shanelle cause Kohl is not only to enhance the eyes they use it for several reasons and also apply it with babies and children!!

i cnt stand kohl..............the moment i try putting it to my eyes, they become red, puffy and i get all teary-eyed..... guess iv got an allergy to it..

The kohl also acts as a remedy to get rid of infection in the eyes.. My Grandma used to say so........

Am not comfortable in using kohl coz whenever i use it my eyes turn into red...

T ruely?? tell us more about it; How can they be harmfull to the eyes, specially if it is being applied to children and babies

yes i have heard that it is quite dangerous for the eyes

which type of khol are you referring ??? coz we use natural khol for babies..

There are certain Kohl that contain lead!!
Kohl is actually good for it protects the eyes from the glare!!
You should buy only those that do not contain lead..
Originally made from the ash of frankincense, kohl was later made from powdered antimony, a metallic element often containing lead, arsenic, phosphates and other impurities.
Kohls containing lead have been banned in the United States and Great Britain.
