Are you applying kajal on your baby's eyes too? Let's talk biochemistry before you do it again. Unbranded kajal isn't just kohl- it's often a lead delivery system. Some samples test at 54% lead sulfide. Babies are more vulnerable: ❌ Higher gut and skin absorption than adults ❌ Hand-to-mouth turns eye contact into ingestion ❌ Even breastfeeding exposure has raised infant blood lead levels The risk isn't "eye infection." It's anemia, kidney damage, seizures, and long-term learning and behavioural problems. And there's no proven vision benefit to offset it. If the ritual matters to you: is it branded and lead-tested? Can't verify it? Skip it. Root cause work isn't always about supplements. Sometimes it's auditing the things we do out of love. Save this before your next kajal run 🖤 #Kajal #LeadPoisoning #EvidenceBasedParenting #NewbornCare #ParentingIndia
