Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · What They Put In Lip Gloss Is Banned From Food | Laura DiGirolamo, ESQ · 9 Jun 2026 podcast

That's why it's meant to be regulated.

Synthetic dyes are meant to be regulated.

But the reason why that story went away...

is because they rely, the industry, the media, they rely on old studies from the early 2000s that say, well, if you're a woman, you're really only putting on lipstick twice a day.

And if you're only putting it on twice a day, you're only going to be taking in about 0.05 grams of it.

So the amount of lead you're taking in is negligible.

30-year-old study.

So now you go to the modern usage rates.

So the law needs to acknowledge how often are people applying lip products.

How often are you applying it?

So how often, how many grams are you actually taking in a day?

Well, that exposure rate is what needs, you need to A, acknowledge that you're eating this stuff off your lips and B, have an understanding of how much is actually getting, you know, taken into the body.

There are no regulations in the world that are doing that.

So right now, they're at what we call a high-impact journal.

So there are going to be a lot of eyeballs when this thing gets published.

And these two papers, I would say in the next two, three, maybe four weeks.

We're at a weird time because a lot of the people who are peer-reviewing, they're professors.

They're people who are reviewing papers right now.

It's a very busy, busy time.

So we might look at next three weeks, next four weeks.
