Episode 4: Restorative Art: Hidden Hazards
In this episode of Mortuary Masterclass, we uncover the hidden dangers of three chemicals still lingering in some embalming cosmetics and restoratives: lead chromate, methylene chloride, and toluene. Once considered breakthroughs, these ingredients remain in certain spray sealers, adhesives, and heavy makeups—even though modern research links them to serious health risks.
Drawing from current exposure data and historical context, we explain how each of these substances behaves in the prep room, why they no longer meet today’s professional safety standards, and what to look for in your own kit. We also introduce updated solutions — from Champion’s Camouflage Powder and Cream to improved structural waxes — that offer lifelike results without compromising your wellbeing.
Whether you’re rethinking your shelf staples, comparing product labels, or simply want to create safer, more professional results, this episode gives you clear guidance for evolving your practice and protecting your health.
