I'm starting to use more and more Gamblin Paint. I do follow the non-toxic Gospel as much as possible these days. Here is what they say about their Naples Yellow Hue from their web site.

Naples Yellow Hue: Robert Gamblin has made an exact match of lead antimoniate color because Gamblin Artists do not make colors that contain lead. Known as a ceramic glazing color since the time of the Assyrians, it appears rarely in oil paintings before the 18th century. "Naples Yellow" has come to mean a pale opaque earthy yellow color more than a chemical composition.

Pigment: Zinc oxide, concentrated cadmium sulfide, natural hydrated iron oxide (PW 4, PY 37, PY 43)
Vehicle: Alkali refined linseed oil
Lightfastness I Series 2
OPAQUE
MSDS

I haven't actually tried this one, but I probably will have to check it out.
