Why is Crayola Lying About It’s Products Being Safe?

May 22, 2015 by Shellie Wilson 5 Comments

Firstly let me fill you in the background of this story. DIY Make-up enthusiasts have being turning Crayola products into lipsticks and eye pencils for vibrant and fun DIY make-up. Their videos and tutorials can be seen here.

How to make Crayon Lipstick and Eye liner.

You may have seen all over social media and the news that Crayola has released a statement saying that their products are NOT safe to use as make up and this new trend needs to stop.

However I found this video by RCL Beauty where she actually rings Crayola and you won’t believe what they said. (Watch the video).

So what’s the deal Crayola? If your products are not safe for my 30+ year old skin, then should I really be letting my babies play with your products?

In your statement you say they are not cosmetic grade but it’s okay for my daughter to rub it all over her face as that’s classed as safe?

    There are so many colorful lipstick and eye liner options out there. You can even get them cheap at drugstores and Ulta. Just wear makeup.

    I guess this is the “gossip” side of Craft-Gossip….

    Nontoxic and cosmetic grade are two completely different things.

    A toddler getting some marker or crayon on their face coloring and then washing it off versus someone manipulating the product with heat and often combining it with other ingredients and then intentionally wearing it as makeup for 12 hours are two very different things, they’re not even remotely close to being a similar use of the product.

    The statement from Crayola clearly says their products “are not designed, tested or approved for this purpose.” which is why they discourage using them that way, because they actually care about safety and performance of their products….

    Crayola is not lying about anything and you are simply fear-mongering.

    So, what are the repurcussions of Crayola brand materials left on the skin?

    I agree Loretta…..

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
