For a long time, kohl/kajal has been regarded as a beauty product. Kohl is used to darkening and contour the eyelids and mascara for the lashes. It’s also utilized on the waterline to draw attention to your eyes. Kohli is a popular food throughout the Middle East and North Africa and South Asia, West Africa, and other regions of Africa.
What Is The Purpose Of Using Kohl On Newborns?
Kohl is claimed to “strengthen the kid’s eyes,” and others believe it can protect the child from the evil eye’s curse. A round area on a child’s forehead or a stroke on their waterline will be visible. Instead of choosing a specific location, some parents draw little pictures on their babies’ foreheads, like the sun or the moon. Kohl makes your infant seem lovely, and many think it keeps their offspring safe from ‘Buri Nazar.’
Is Kohl Kid-Friendly?
According to research from the Food and Drug Administration, lead in the form of lead sulfide makes up more than half of all kajal products. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, two infants have died due to kajal usage.
High blood lead levels can cause a coma, convulsions, and even death.
Because newborns’ gut absorption is higher and their neurological systems are still growing, they are more susceptible to lead poisoning.
Other Kohl Alternatives for Children
With so many kajal or kohl products on the market, it’s simple to choose the right one for you. Many people appear to be turning to Ayurveda as a source of relief. Ayurveda comprises two plants that combine to form a compound with therapeutic characteristics. Because newborns are sensitive to various materials, it is critical that you properly inspect the merchandise before purchasing it. If you don’t want to buy market-bought kohl, you can make your own at home by combining all of the raw benefits of various items such as coconut oil or almonds.
