Toxins in Eyeliner?
You want everything you put on your body to be as safe as possible knowing that those ingredients do get absorbed into your skin. So what’s lurking in your eyeliner?
Carbon Black. What is it? Often labeled as D & C Black No.2, acetylene black, channel black, furnace black, 
lamp black or thermal black. It has been identified as a carcinogen. Concerns include cancer, and organ toxicity. Reading your label can help you avoid that one. Sadly, there is a larger problem. Testing has found levels of heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury, beryllium and nickel in all the products analyzed. You will not find these on your label since they are considered “impurities” and are not intentionally added.
If you really love your eyeliner you can still find brands without the Carbon Black in them. The more toxins you eliminate the less that can accumulate in your body. If you aren’t doing anything special-skip it that day! The fewer toxins you put into your body the safer you are!
