Because the FDA has little control over the $50 billion dollar industry of cosmetics the only feat that the FDA could put a stop too was 'Mercury' in many cosmetics. Yes, there is whale fat, but also fish scales in those nice shiny, flecked lipsticks young women like to wear and there is a small amount of lead, but according to the FDA such a low amount it will not harm or cause cancer in humans. Since the FDA has admitted they have little control over cosmetic companies because of 'loop holes,' it's possible that that statement is not entirely accurate. Even though there are many stores that carry natural cosmetics this doesn't mean they don't have ingredients in them that can possibly harm a person. Some cosmetic companies have joined the 'safe costmetics organization' and stand behind their products.
