Why choose Halloween natural face paints?

In 2009, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics found one out of ten face paints tested contained lead. Six out of ten face paints contained nickel, cobalt, and/or chromium. The products with the highest levels were made in China.^[3]https://www.safecosmetics.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Pretty-Scary.pdf.

Look for Halloween natural face paints made in the USA and/or made from all natural, organic ingredients like those mentioned above. Let the scare in Halloween come from the trick-or-treating, costumes, and haunted houses…not the face paints.
