Kohl has been used for so long, sumerians used it, ancient arab bedouins used it and still do. The best kohl is the one made at home with their own family recipe. Its the only thing I wear, instead of manufactured eyeliners, I prefer kohl. Henna, Perfume to has been around since ancient sumeria, even before. Its amazing how long they have been around and we still use same things to this day.

To anyone thinking of picking up some kohl, do look out for lead content;

Never buy the ones in the store especially the ones made in pakistan or india. If one must buy a kohl from a shop then get the guerlain one tbh, its safe and an updated version of kohl. I get mine from the actual stone not lead.

Just as a note to others (I'm sure you are careful!) , even stones are traditionally a lead compound - galena is typical, and is a lead sulfide.
