Kajal

Kohl is an eye cosmetic, traditionally made by crushing stibnite (antimony sulfide) for use similar to that of charcoal in mascara. It is widely used throughout the world, typically as eyeliner to contour or darken the eyelids. The content of kohl and various ways to prepare it differ based on tradition and country. Several studies have questioned the safety of kohl due to the dangers of lead poisoning. Importing kohl into the United States is banned.
