Jojo siwa’s makeup line has been recalled after it was tested positive for asbestos.
As you probably already know, Jojo’s siwa’s fanbase consists of primarily children, so
that’s who her makeup was being marketed to.
I cant even tell you how big of a problem this is, but I’ll give it my best shot.
What is gravy potatoes, you’re watching IO and I’m charlotte.
Whats in the news today you ask?
Why, jojo siwa’s makeup kit has been recalled because it contains a highly toxic material
called asbestos.
What is it with all the youtubers releasing crappy makeup?
If I ever release a makeup line, or a line of hashbrowns, I promise there wont be any
asbestos or furry fibres.
Jojo siwa is in some hot water right now because her makeup line was recalled after the FDA
found traces of asbestos.
On june 6th, the US food and drug administration issued a warning to people who had bought
Jojo Siwa’s makeup products from Claires’, saying that you should stop using them immediately.
The tweet said.
Today, the FDA is releasing new results from its continued testing of cosmetic products
for asbestos and is warning consumers not to use 2 additional products that have tested
positive for asbestos and have been recalled.
Editors its tweet 1.
About a week later, claires announced it was voluntarily recalling the jojo siwa makeup
set, but they also said that they only recalled the Jojo Siwa Cosmetic kit out of an abundance
of caution, saying that the products are safe.
So for those of you who don’t know what asbestos is, this is whats up.
Asbestos is a term used to refer to six naturally occurring silicate minerals that are composed
of long and thin fibrous cystals.
Asbestos has been used for a long time, since as far back as the stone age, to strengthen
ceramic pots.
It started being mined on a large scale in the 19th century for building materials like
insulation, and was used until the 20th century to also make plastic stronger.
UNTIL, the health hazards started to come to life.
It turns out that asbestos is extremely, extremely toxic.
Using asbestos in construction is banned in several counties.
Inhaling these fibres or injesting them can lead to health complications like lung conditions,
including cancer.
100 thousand people a year are believed to die from diseases related to asbestos exposure.
That’s because people live in buildings and houses that still contain things like
insulation, you know that pink fluffy stuff that looks like cotton candy that’s inside
old walls that your parents told you not to touch?
That’s because it contains asbestos.
Which is like…ok the Jojo siwas cosmetic kit contains lip gloss, lip gloss that kids
will most definitely put on their mouths and injest.
It also contains eyeshadow, and that eyeshadow tested positive for asbestos.
That means kids put ASBESTOS RIGHT on their eyes.
So how the heck did asbestos get into jojo siwa’s makeup?
Most buildings that were built before the 1980’s contain asbestos, and developing
countries still support the use of it as a building material.
Russia is the top producer of asbestos in the world, and in 2015 they produced around
1 million metric tons of the stuff.
It turns out that the FDA also recalled a contour pallete called The beauty plus global
contour effects pallete two, and the company that makes these palletes is a chinese company,
Beauty Plus Global.
While Clares is based in Chicago, it might outsource production from other countries
that don’t have regulations that comply with the FDA.
Either that or they are manufacturing makeup in a really old building that contains asbestos.
I will say that this is just my opinion, im not a scientist, I don’t know how asbestos
got into jojo siwas makeup.
But its my best guess that there are traces of asbestos because of the environment that
the products were made in.
Jojo siwa responded to the recall in a video on her channel, where she apologised and said
that safety is hers and nickelodeon’s number 1 priority.
She also said and I quote.
This product is something that, with a lot of things, that I put my trust into other
peoples hands.
We are working really really hard to make sure that this product is recalled and off
all shelves.
And also that anyone who has this product, you can get a refund.
If its used or unused, you can get a full refund.
Editor its quote 2.
While I agree that there were other people involved in the production of jojo siwa’s
makeup line, I think there seriously needs to be some quality control set in place.
Why are so many makeup products made by youtubers turning out to be either toxic or unsanitary?
Are they not going through the normal quality control procedures and being tested before
they are being sold to kids?
Ultimately if you want to launch any sort of makeup or skin care line, safety should
be your number 1 concern BEFORE your products go into production.
Not after your products have been massed produced and used by thousands of children.
What if the FDA didn’t conduct an investigation?
Kids would still be using these products and putting toxic materials on their mouths and
eyes and they would have no idea.
Jojo siwa is a multi million dollar money maker.
Am I really to believe that they couldn’t spare a couple extra bucks to make sure their
makeup was safe for children?
