Unsafe Halloween Makeup

Trick or Treat!  Halloween is only 4 days away!  It's time to stock up on makeup that transforms us into vampires, cats, or clowns.  But, have you every noticed the ingrendients in that makeup?  Some contain cadmium.  Cadmium is a naturally occuring metal which can lead to bone, lung, or kidney damage.  The Ecology Center, an environmental group, tested 31 different types of novelty makeup that can be purchased at most temporary Halloween stores and found that more than half contained cadmium.  So when you are looking for makeup that can turn you from normal everyday citizen to an eerie, scary looking vampire, make sure you look at the ingredients and make sure that what you apply to your face will be safe.  Nothing this halloween season is scarier than what this makeup could lead to if you don't pay attention!
