    The 'bindi', the ubiquitous mark on the forehead of Indian women is facing a problem in the distant US where a manufacturer has been forced to withdraw a batch along with other cosmetics products from the market owing to its high lead content.

    In the land of its birth, the bindi, however, continues to be manufactured unchecked as there is no agency to monitor the usage and harmful effects of spurious products.

    The cosmetics industry is not at all regulated in India. There's no apex body to control this in India.
    What's worse is the fact that most of the branded products in the market do not carry the mandatory label of ingredients, colouring agent (chemicals used) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mark and no declaration whatsoever that that the products are manufactured from any carcinogenic or any harmful ingredients.

    According to experts, 'sindoor' or 'kumkum' readily available in market often contains high amount of harmful materials
