I didnt write this but found it on the net very interesting....
I have scoured the net to find an answer to your question, and I think I may have
found it. I found several references to the presence of guano in mascara, or
other cosmetics, but of course none were documented. I had my suspicions that
guano itself was not being added (allergies, sanitation), but some component of
guano may be added. Turns out, a compound prevalent in guano, guanine (a
nitrogenous base) can provide an irridescent finish to paints and cosmetics.
Here is an
excerpt:
Pearl is the original iridescent additive that customizes a finish. The base
product comes from the interior lining of seashells (Mother of Pearl) or Guanine
crystal, the derivative of sea bird and bat guano. When added to a translucent
paint material, it alters the light ray within the film and bends or refracts the
ray, giving off a secondary color. This action provides a completely new
dimension of color--a refractive effect.

Bat crap (guano) in mascara is an old urban legend that junior high boys have loved to tell junior high girls for years and years. There is no kind of animal crap in any cosmetic product sold in the US!
