Sometimes certain laws are never updated and when Sweden banned the red coloring it was actually toxic, but a new kind of red coloring was invented, non toxic like the one we use today, but Sweden never lifted it's ban until the EU membership.
Make-up used to be lead and cyanide based and today they're non toxic plant and petrolium based. Yep, non toxic petrolium based make-up doesn't sound like an oxymoron. My grandfather frequented a certain spa where you could took a petrolium bath. It helped with his skin problem.
