relax. bismuth oxychloride is not lead, it's just an ingredient that derived from the process of lead refining. just think about it by breaking down the chemicals: bismuth is a soft metal (which explain why bismuth oxychloride is pearlescent) while oxygen & chlorine are nonmetals. bismuth oxychloride is harmless to the skin as long as it's lead free before using for cosmetic purposes.
