What’s in face paint? Face paints can contain nasty ingredients like parabens, lead, nickel, and cadmium. Fortunately, there is still time to order Halloween natural face paints.  

Last October, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D) raised the alarm on toxic face paint. Schumer warned:

Every Halloween we worry about the candy we’re putting in our kids’ mouths but nowadays, we need to worry about the face paint we’re putting on our kids’ faces. Toxic Chinese chemicals in children’s Halloween makeup and face paint is a scary thought, and yet, often times, parents don’t even know what’s in these products. When it comes to the kind of makeup our kids slather on at Halloween, lead, nickel and cobalt do not belong, and so, I am urging the FDA to unmask the ingredients that are often left off of the packaging.¹⁾https://www.schumer.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/schumer-reveals-halloween-makeup-on-store-shelves-could-pose-serious-danger-to-children-halloween-products-from-china-often-contain-hazardous-chemicals-like-nickel-and-lead-that-are-left-off-of-ingredients-but-can-make-kids-very-sick-senator-urges-parents-to-be-wary-not-use-halloween-makeup-made-in-china-pushes-fda-to-investigate-dangerous-ingredients-often-hidden-to-consumers²⁾http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2015/10/does-your-halloween-facepaint-have-toxic-chemicals-it/

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.
