Great face paints...BUT contain LEAD and NICKEL
I bought two very nice sets for a school event (actually, the high end sets with the tray and 18 color wheel). I was very impressed with the quality of the paints. They spread very nicely, the colors remain intense after drying, they are very economical in the sense that a little goes a long way. I also used some of their glitter and their paint brushes, all of which worked great.
HOWEVER.
There is a non-profit online , safe cosmetics, that has produced a report about the safety of these paints. Please investigate on your own!
Snazaroo has responded on their website, but I remain a bit skeptical. They state 'hazardous materials are beyond classification limit'. In the second statement Snazaroo just says it adheres to the 'current legislative limits' for lead, nickel and cobalt.
I say take the nastiness out completely: I don't want it on my kid's face. LET'S ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION!
