Interesting!
For me, the bottom line is, I don't want lead in my lipstick. If it is coming from water sources than they should be using filtered water in the manufacturing process which I assume they would be doing anyway. Also, the lab did release the results which Fancy Mouse linked to above.

I think most groups have some sort of motivation to skew results one way or another. It seems that both the FDA and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics are in agreement that there is some lead in lipstick, but the disagreement comes from how much if any is safe or acceptable.
I'm all about informed consent. Let the consumer decide what they feel comfortable with, but first, let them know it's there. Until this study was released, I had no idea that there was any lead at all in lipstick.
