There are few organs in the body more sensitive than the eyes. And when you add makeup to this delicate area, it can cause dry eye symptoms or other eye problems, or make an existing problem worse.

In fact, chronic dry eye mostly affects women, since most women wear makeup on occasion, if not every day.

While many eye cosmetics are safe, misusing certain products can sometimes lead to infection and, in rare cases, even blindess. Knowing what to look for, and how to use cosmetics, can help protect your eyes while bringing out their beauty. Some of the ingredients in eye makeup can be irritating to the skin or aggravate already dry eyes. Used in large quantities, some may be associated with cancer risk, so it’s important to know what’s in your makeup before you buy.

Certain cosmetic ingredients have been strictly regulated or unapproved for cosmetic use in the U.S. These include ingredients that act as preservatives, stabilizers or anti-caking agents, as well as color additives. One such additive is kohl, also known as al-kahl, kajal, or surma, which consists of lead and has been linked to lead poisoning in children. Be sure to check any additives on the label against the Federal Drig Adminstration’s (FDA) list of approved color additives in cosmetics. Then make sure they are listed as approved for use in the area of the eye.
