A study by the Consumer Council in Hong Kong has found allergenic heavy metals in 80% of cream and liquid eyeshadows. The council is urging manufacturers to re-formulate and increase ingredient transparency. The council tested 25 eyeshadows and found seven contained potential environmental pollutants 130 times above the European legal safety limit. Ten products only listed ingredients in Japanese, and nine lacked expiration dates or period-after-opening (PAO) information.
