The American women are going to get on my ass for this article! I already know it! Well, at least the very vain, superficial, and materialistic ones will. The health conscious women I'm sure will appreciate the information within.
 Beauty is no joke to many females in the Western world. Many women don't know the true essence of beauty. True beauty emanates from deep within. Many females have been duped by corporations (cosmetic companies) within the Matrix to think that beauty is something that is external or exclusively external.
Now while there is an obvious external beauty in many people, there's also an internal and much deeper beauty. However, it takes time to discover and see this beauty so if one really wants to discover this buried beauty, they'll have to stick around for awhile and perhaps be friends or enter into a relationship with a person; they can't just have sex and then bounce (leave), something you can do when you are mesmerized by and infatuated with external beauty exclusively, which can really be neutralized when someone's brain is on display.
Beauty, external beauty, is very important to most females in America because our male-created beauty standards for females is based on the external exclusively, and a female's sexual embellishments in particular.
In America, a woman can rarely be beautiful while covered up or dressed in modest fashion. Usually, she has to show some tits, hips, belly, and ass. Unfortunately, female beauty is used to promote lower nature lust and to stimulate the lower chakras which deals with our lower human attributes, i.e. control, outer personal power, and base sexual nature.
This is very unfortunate, but because men run or control the world, they also control the world of beauty, and because they control the world of beauty, they control the female through her identification with her self-image which is predicated upon beauty in many cases or instances if not most.
For many females, their self-esteem can be based upon their self-image; the same is true of a female's emotions - it too can also be based upon self-image.
 If you can control how a girl or woman sees and feel about herself through her image, you can eventually control her emotions and her behavior and thinking. This science is substantiated by Maxwell Maltz who gave us psycho-cybernetics, a science of self-improvement and success by way of controlling the self-image or how one sees him or herself.
How a person sees or view him or herself and feel about him or herself is a 3rd chakra attribute, and for many females, their personal power is subject to how they feel about and view themselves, especially as it relates to the outside or external world. So a woman's self-image is part of her personal power dynamic. It is very true that self-image can help to empower you. When you feel good and look good and you know it, you emit this particular frequency that reveals how you feel about yourself and others pick up on it and respond to it.
Even a person who may not be externally attractive, beautiful or handsome but who has positive and high self-image and self-esteem will be a magnet and attract the most attractive, beautiful and handsome people to him or her self. You see, how you feel about yourself is more powerful than how you actually look. It's all about energy. Energy (aura) is what has attracting powers.
You also can control how you look by how you feel. If you constantly feel good about yourself, you will slowly but surely begin to look good as well, for the outer always follows and reflects the internal. It's a law!
I said all of the above to premise this article in an attempt to explain why women wear makeup in the first place and why many women feel makeup is mandatory in their lives. It has to do with self-image which impacts self-esteem and because some women may be shot in these areas, they are willing to pay a heavy price, including the price of disease and death, to look and feel beautiful on a very superficial or vain level. This means they will use cosmetics that contain toxic and harmful ingredients. They don't care about harm or toxicity, but about beauty - superficial external beauty.
One cosmetic product that many women use, and perhaps through the entire day, is lipstick! While lipstick does make a woman's face and especially her lips more appealing, lipstick, most commercial brands of them, are outright TOXIC and POISONOUS and thus HARMFUL!
Is disease or death a reasonable price to pay for external and superficial beauty? Only you ladies who use or wear dangerous cosmetic products can answer this.
It has been revealed that most brands of lipstick contain lead, more amounts of this toxic element than is allowed by government for use in candy. Yes, government (FDA) allows lead to be in candy. But hey, many Americans still to this very day trust the FDA with their health and wellbeing, not recognizing and realizing that FDA-approval does not guarantee safety or that a product is automatically safe to consume or use.
It is a fact that cosmetic products are one of the least regulated product categories by the entrusted FDA. In Europe more than 1,100 product chemicals are banned, but here in the United States, less than 10 product chemicals are banned. The statement made here is that Europe (European countries) is way more conscious than the United States.
Lead is so toxic it was removed from gasoline. This is why our only gasoline choice today at gas stations is exclusively "unleaded" fuel.
So, lead can be removed from gasoline, but not the lipstick women and girls wear. Wow! What a statement!
Lead is greatly toxic to the human body (divine temple of God). A woman who applies lipstick is also ingesting some of it during or throughout the day. If she likes reapplying lipstick through the day, that much more lead gets into her bloodstream via the skin of her lips. Remember, the skin is the largest organ of the body and what you put on your skin gets into your bloodstream, so even when we apply things or substances on the skin, technically speaking, we are consuming the thing or substance like we do food, just not through the mouth in most cases.
Even small amounts of lead over time amounts to a significantly unsafe level of lead exposure. Lead is not added as an ingredient in the lipstick manufacturing process, but it comes from the colorant used or is the by-product of the lipstick making process. This is also the main reason why lipstick manufacturers do not list lead among the ingredients on the label. These companies (the people who run them) have poor, low, or no ethics or scruples at all. People should be given the right to know what they are putting into and putting on their bodies.
Lead is a neurotoxin, adversely affecting the nerves and can cause brain damage and behavioral, learning and language problems; can lower IQ or intelligence quotient, can cause hormonal imbalance, can delay the onset of puberty; can cause infertility and miscarriage, and believe it or not, it increases aggression. Yes, lead increases aggression.
Lead is a hidden ingredient in most malt liquor beers that are sold, almost exclusively, in Black, Hispanic, and other so-called minority communities and neighborhoods. It is lead and manganese that make the consumers of malt liquor (or 8-Ball, 40 ounce) act a fool - behaving violently, savagely, and criminally.
Those that are particularly vulnerable to lead exposure are pregnant women, and young children. Again, lead is implicated in the cause of infertility and miscarriage in females. It is therefore imperative that any exposure to lead must be avoided.
 More than two thirds of the lipsticks inspected during a major toxicology inspection contained moderate amounts of lead which various lipstick manufacturers claim are relatively safe (manufacturers will tell us anything to keep those dollars rolling in). One third of lipsticks tested safe and that's because they contained no lead in them.
Unfortunately for lipstick wearers, it is not mandatory for the lipstick manufacturer to list lead as one of the ingredients being used in the product. However, toxicologists give us a very important clue (and tip) pertaining to lead and the safety of lipstick. The redder the lipstick color, the more lead it contains. So if you're wise and health conscious at the same time, you'd stick to colors away from red while shopping at the cosmetic store, supermarket, or local department store, i.e. Nordstrom, Macy's, J.C. Penney, Bloomingdales, Sak's Fifth Avenue, Sears, and stores like Target and Walmart.
Lipstick manufacturers are also using petrochemicals to manufacture lipstick. Petrochemicals are harmful to human health. Petrochemicals are basically petroleum. So now we discover that not only are the Rockefellers inside the vaginas of women (due to petroleum products used in vaginal hygiene products), but are now on the lips of women as well. Anything for a damn dollar! Don't you think these wealthy tycoons know that you can make money by selling human, animal, and environment-safe and friendly products?
Ladies, men who wear makeup for their jobs (i.e. men in television), and men who cross dress, be cautious when selecting lipstick brands. Research the brand's ingredients before making your purchase. Many lipstick brands contain very harmful ingredients besides lead. In addition to lead, lipsticks may contain FORMALDEHYDE, MINERAL OIL, TALC, PARABEN, IRON OXIDE, and BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE.
Paraben and especially bismuth oxychloride are known carcinogens and are implicated in various forms of cancer.
Like lead, formaldehyde too is a neurotoxin. Formaldehyde is embalming fluid, a preservative. Imagine the woman who wears red-colored lipstick but who also drinks sod pop containing aspartame. This woman is zombifying herself while simultaneously embalming herself. At 86 degrees, aspartame (synthetic chemical sweetener) converts into formaldehyde. This will automatically occur in the human body since the human body's natural temperature is 98.6 degrees.
Many unconscious women are saturating their bodies with formaldehyde, which is a poison to the brain.
So ladies, start researching those chemicals used in your lipstick brands.
Lead-containing lipstick brands include, but are not limited to:
Chanel (lip conditioner)
Christian Dior (uses the most lead)
Clinque
Cover Girl
Estee Lauder
Lancome
Loreal
Red Earth (lip gloss)
Shiseido
Y.S.L.
In closing, I'd be remiss to not reveal how some lipstick brands are straight using dried, pulverized bugs or insects in their red-colored lipsticks. That's right, folks! Some lipstick brands use a substance called 'cochineal' for coloring purposes.
Cochineal is an insect. Check out the following:
Cochineal. noun. 1 a scarlet dye used chiefly for coloring food. • the dried bodies of a female scale insect, which are crushed to yield this dye. • a similar dye or preparation made from the oak kermes insect ( see kermes ).
2 (cochineal insect) the scale insect that is used for cochineal, native to Mexico and formerly widely cultivated on cacti. • Dactylopius coccus, family Dactylopiidae, suborder Homoptera.
The cochineal bug is red and so this is why it is used in cosmetics and even some food beverages.
"So what is a woman to do?" "I like wearing lipstick!"
All right, calm down now and keep your panties on! No need to kick up dust and make a fuss! It's not the end of the world! It's not all brands of lipstick that contain lead though they may contain other harmful chemical ingredients. Dherbs.com and myself are always doing our best to give you or notify you of healthy alternatives and there are a few natural and plant-based lipsticks on the market. They include:
All Natural Cosmetics
Dr. Hauschka
Honeybee Gardens
Isabella
Natural Solutions
Neways
Pristine Planet
Refreshingly
Saffronrouge (lipstick)
Skin Botanica (lipstick)
For a listing of more companies that sell natural lipstick as well as other lip care products, I highly recommend that you purchase Dherbs.com Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual e-book which is a valuable resource and reference for healthy products for male/female personal body care, female hygiene, hair and skin care, household cleaning supplies, and more.
 Now please note that natural lipsticks will contain ingredients that fastidious and persnickety health conscious folks may have a problem with; however, these ingredients are far safer than your average commercial lipstick brands on the market.
It is common to find ingredients for natural lipstick such as: Aloe Vera Extract, Beeswax, Candellila Wax, Carmine, Carnauba Wax, Castor Oil, Cocoa Butter, Hempseed Oil, Iron Oxide, Jojoba Oil, Lanolin, Mica, Shea Butter, Titanium Oxide, Tocopherol, and Ultramarine(s) to name a few, but you need to know that every ingredient in a product labeled "natural" may not harmonize with your belief system, conscience, diet, and/or lifestyle.
For example, Carmine (the only alternative to Red Lake petroleum dye) is just like Cochineal and is derived from an insect and thus is not a vegan ingredient.
Beeswax (which is derived from bees) and Lanolin (which is derived from sheep) are also not vegan products.
People who are vegans cannot use or consume these ingredients, so while a lipstick brand may purport to be natural, it will nevertheless not be vegan in nature.
Mica, Titanium Dioxide, and Iron Oxide are all earth elements consisting of various compounds and you're not going to have any kind of natural lipstick without these ingredients. And that's just a reality and fact! I've done the research. If an ingredient says: 'May contain iron oxide, titanium oxide, and/or mica', chances are it does contain them.
So Mica, Titanium Dioxide, and Iron Oxide are suspect and implicated in minor adverse health conditions, especially Titanium Dioxide. Iron Oxide is the safest of these ingredients.
Tocopherol a/k/a Vitamin E is really a soybean oil byproduct. Most Vitamin E today is being derived from soybeans (the oil). Therefore, you hear so much about Vitamin E today because it's a byproduct of soy production. And just keeping it real for you, byproduct is simply another name for waste product, but we have a very profitable waste product (or byproduct) industry today in the United States.
So ladies, there you have it - your alternatives to the lead-containing lipsticks. No lipstick brand is going to be 100% safe and truly all natural (food-based), but if anyone knows me they know I keep it real and give you the deal and I say this to say that women, for a plethora of reasons, perhaps mostly vain and superficial, are going to wear their lipstick no matter what and a man like myself ain't trippin' at all as my motto is DO YOUR THING and BE HAPPY! However, just accept personal responsibility for your actions - recognize the Law of Cause and Effect.
Just know that through your attempt to enhance your image or facial beauty, you may be harming yourself. Chances are you are already harming yourself via use of cosmetics.
Ladies, just be conscious of your actions and be willing to accept the results and ramifications of your actions. Assume personal responsibility for your actions.
Oh, and please remember, the ultimate beauty is WITHIN, not without!
Thank you for reading!
