The ancient Egyptians spent a whole month preparing the lead-and-eye pencil set. In theory, lead-containing cosmetics pose a potential risk to health. However, with very low amounts, lead can have a positive effect.

Scientists used a very small electrode, one-tenth the thickness of a hair, to observe the effect of lead chloride salt on a single cell.

"It can be seen that these lead compounds have been prepared and used by the ancient Egyptians for a purpose, to prevent and treat eye diseases through the promotion of immune cells. Translated, "the BBC quoted the research content published in the Analytical Chemistry fact sheet.
