Kohl Protect against UVB Radiation from the Sun

Eyes are sensitive to radiation that the sun sends off, so the galena (lead mineral) base in Kohl has, forms a small thin film on the surface of eye which stops the harmful UV radiations from hurting the eyes and protect the eyes. The shiny particles of galena reflect the glare of the sun, also dust and dirt. Galena is mineral made out of lead sulfide.

NOT PROTECTED!!!! PROTECTED!!!!!

Titanium Dioxide-

Titanium Dioxide is rated the highest hazard and is found in all eyeliners. Titanium Dioxide is white, sold, inorganic dust/powder mineral and after processing it becomes liquid. This was rated number 1-3 Red (Red means High Hazard) Cancer rating was high; it’s been proven that Titanium Dioxide causes respiratory track cancer and it was listed to be toxic and very harmful to humans and animals. It was stated that it shouldn’t be used in cosmetics and food. Environment Canada stated it was high rated environment toxin. In 2006 Canada centre for Occupational Health & Safety issued an alert warning to cosmetic companies that “Titanium Dioxide dust must be eliminated or reduced to the minimum as possible”. It is now illegal to not put Titanium Dioxide on a product label.International Agency for research on cancer discovered that Titanium dioxide as a cancer causing agent, sooner after being found The National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health has also confirmed that it was a cancer causer for lung cancer. It was also rated that there is no safe exposure levels. Titanium Dioxide particles are very fine; they are less than one micron, this is why when inhaled it goes very deep into human/animals lungs. Titanium Dioxide is found is all makeup cosmetics, creams, sunblock’s, toothpastes, and other non-powdered products. It is been reported not to be used, but many cosmetic companies use it anyways

Mercury-Mercury is found in Mascara, Eyeliner and Skin-lightening creams. Mercury was rated the highest toxin hazard chemical found in all my chemicals listed. It was rated a number 10 red (red Means high hazard) by the Environment Canada. It was rated high Cancer causer, as was stated very strong evidence to skin toxicant; it was also rated to be very toxicant to the human immune system. It is also very toxin to nerve cells, the toxins disrupt human development, and reproductive. Japans government has put a restrictions on Mercury and has been Banned and found unsafe for use in cosmetics. United States and Canada have put a restriction % on it, but they still use it; low quantity! European Union has banned the making, and using of Mercury in all cosmetic products. More studies indicated renal toxicant, respiratory toxicant, sense organs toxicant, cardiovascular or blood toxicant, hematologic toxicant, and gastrointestinal or liver toxicity. It was also stated on skin deep website that it is Persistent, bioaccumulative to wildlife. Studies show that it’s very toxin to wildlife and the environment, also known to be neurotoxic to humans, Hazardous Air Pollutant. It is a cause of thyroid disorders, seizures, reduced fertility in males and females and erectile dysfunction. It’s also a cause for menstrual disorders (abnormal bleeding, short cycles, and long cycles, irregular cycles, and painful periods, low birth weight in babies, stillbirths, miscarriages, and hormonal changes.

Mercury is known to delayed brain development in children, and cause brain damage humans to have had long-term or high rates of exposure to Mercury. Minnesota was the first state to ban Mercury in cosmetic in 2007. They fined penalties up to $10,000 to retailers who are selling and manufacturing products with Mercury after the ban was established.

Is eyeliner bad for you?

Eyeliner is not the best thing for your eyes, the harsh chemicals after a while will burn your skin, cause wrinkles, a buildup of chemicals that blocks your pores; it causes many skin/eye infections as the bacteria from the chemicals grow. Sleeping with eyeliner on is bad, you need your skin to breath after harsh chemicals sitting on your eyes all day. Your eyes become red and sore as your skin becomes irritated from the chemicals

• Wearing eyeliner in the inter part of your eye lid can be very dangerous, can flake off into your eye and scratch the cornea which is the clear front surface of an eye

also increases your rate for bacterial infections and diseases

o Eyeliner will dry up or grow bacteria on it over time

a) eyeliner pencil dry's out 2-3 yearsb) Bacteria starts to go within 2-3 months of being open

I. Liquid eyeliner last 3-4 months II. Dry's out faster then any other eyelinerIII.Grows Bacteria fast
