Eyeliner has been used since ancient times for both fashion and protection from the sun's rays. Cleopatra popularized its use in Egypt in the 1st century BC, where kohl eyeliner made from lead, copper, and antimony was commonly worn by both men and women. While thought to protect eyes from disease, the lead in kohl eyeliner could cause health issues like lead poisoning. Modern eyeliner comes in many forms like gel, pencil, and liquid but still contains hazardous chemicals like titanium dioxide and mercury. Alternatives made from natural ingredients like fruits, vegetables, charcoal and oils provide color without health risks.

Kohl Protect against UVB Radiation from the Sun
Eyes are sensitive to radiation that the sun sends off, so the galena (lead mineral)
base in Kohl has, forms a small thin film on the surface of eye which stops the
harmful UV radiations from hurting the eyes and protect the eyes. The shiny
particles of galena reflect the glare of the sun, also dust and dirt. Galena is mineral
made out of lead sulfide.
NOT PROTECTED!!!! PROTECTED!!!!!

8. Titanium Dioxide is rated the highest hazard and is found in all eyeliners. Titanium Dioxide is
white, sold, inorganic dust/powder mineral and after processing it becomes liquid. This was
rated number 1-3 Red (Red means High Hazard) Cancer rating was high; it’s been proven that
Titanium Dioxide causes respiratory track cancer and it was listed to be toxic and very
harmful to humans and animals. It was stated that it shouldn’t be used in cosmetics and food.
Environment Canada stated it was high rated environment toxin. In 2006 Canada centre for
Occupational Health & Safety issued an alert warning to cosmetic companies that “Titanium
Dioxide dust must be eliminated or reduced to the minimum as possible”. It is now illegal to
not put Titanium Dioxide on a product label.
International Agency for research on cancer discovered that Titanium dioxide as a cancer
causing agent, sooner after being found The National Institute of Occupational Safety &
Health has also confirmed that it was a cancer causer for lung cancer. It was also rated that
there is no safe exposure levels. Titanium Dioxide particles are very fine; they are less than
one micron, this is why when inhaled it goes very deep into human/animals lungs. Titanium
Dioxide is found is all makeup cosmetics, creams, sunblock’s, toothpastes, and other non-
powdered products. It is been reported not to be used, but many cosmetic companies use it
anyways

9. Mercury is found in Mascara, Eyeliner and Skin-lightening creams. Mercury was rated the
highest toxin hazard chemical found in all my chemicals listed. It was rated a number 10 red (red
Means high hazard) by the Environment Canada. It was rated high Cancer causer, as was stated
very strong evidence to skin toxicant; it was also rated to be very toxicant to the human immune
system. It is also very toxin to nerve cells, the toxins disrupt human development, and
reproductive. Japans government has put a restrictions on Mercury and has been Banned and
found unsafe for use in cosmetics. United States and Canada have put a restriction % on it, but
they still use it; low quantity! European Union has banned the making, and using of Mercury in
all cosmetic products. More studies indicated renal toxicant, respiratory toxicant, sense organs
toxicant, cardiovascular or blood toxicant, hematologic toxicant, and gastrointestinal or liver
toxicity. It was also stated on skin deep website that it is Persistent, bioaccumulative to wildlife.
Studies show that it’s very toxin to wildlife and the environment, also known to be neurotoxic to
humans, Hazardous Air Pollutant. It is a cause of thyroid disorders, seizures, reduced fertility in
males and females and erectile dysfunction. It’s also a cause for menstrual disorders (abnormal
bleeding, short cycles, and long cycles, irregular cycles, and painful periods, low birth weight in
babies, stillbirths, miscarriages, and hormonal changes. It causes high blood pressure, hearing
loss, delayed growth, decrease in vision and behavioral problems.
Mercury is known to delayed brain development in children, and cause brain damage humans to
have had long-term or high rates of exposure to Mercury. Minnesota was the first state to ban
Mercury in cosmetic in 2007. They fined penalties up to $10,000 to retailers who are selling and
manufacturing products with Mercury after the ban was established.

10. Eyeliner is not the best thing for your eyes, the harsh chemicals after a
while will burn your skin, cause wrinkles, a buildup of chemicals that
blocks your pores; it causes many skin/eye infections as the bacteria
from the chemicals grow. Sleeping with eyeliner on is bad, you need
your skin to breath after harsh chemicals sitting on your eyes all day.
Your eyes become red and sore as your skin becomes irritated from the
chemicals
• Wearing eyeliner in the inter part of your eye
lid can be very dangerous, can flake off into
your eye and scratch the cornea which is the
clear front surface of an eye
 also increases your rate for
bacterial infections and diseases

months of being open
I. Liquid eyeliner last 3-4 months
II. Dry's out fasterthenany other eyeliner
