Before you paint your kids’ faces for Halloween, you might want to think twice. A new Campaign for Safe Cosmetics report reveals that some children’s face paints contain heavy metals such as lead, nickel and cobalt that can cause lifelong skin sensitization and contact dermatitis. You won’t find any mention of these metals on the products’ ingredients labels—which might even claim the products are “hypoallergenic” and “FDA compliant.” 

Don't use toxic chemicals on your child's face. Find out how to make natural face paints.
