Recent News Release About Face Paint Safety
On October 27, 2009, a very alarmist and extremist "safety organization" issued a news release stating that all the brands of face paint they tested contained lead. Their tests were not done in a scientific manner (for example, they only used one sample of each brand of paint, and only used one lab for testing, which contradicts normal scientific procedure) and they only issued their interpretation of the results, rather than their full testing methodology.

Their real gripe is with the FDA -- the report actually states that all lead levels were well within FDA guidelines, but said the FDA should make the allowable level zero. However, they were willing to attack the face painting industry to get their name in the news and do more fundraising for their organization.

We take the safety of our clients VERY seriously. Cindy has spoken with Gary Cole, President of Snazaroo USA about this issue and feels very safe continuing to use their products. If you are still concerned about the lead levels in face paint (which are comparable to the lead levels found in "normal" cosmetics used EVERY DAY), please click on the news title above to read a message issued by the President of Snazaroo U.S.A.
We're also happy to link you to two more sites who have reasonable and
informed articles about this issue:
