Which ingredients in lipstick are harmful?

Lipstick is a common cosmetic in life and plays a significant role in people's dressing, because lipstick can make people's lips look eye-catching and cute, and increase the charm of people who love beauty. However, the materials used to make lipstick are mostly chemical substances. Long-term use will cause some effects on the body. Let’s take a look at which ingredients in lipstick are harmful. I hope everyone can understand the explanation in this regard.

What are the harmful effects of lipstick?

Triclosan and parabens can reduce heart function and cause menstrual disorders. Long-term intake will increase the incidence of breast cancer. Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium, etc. have a great impact on the kidneys and can also damage the brain and nervous system in the long term. Some people who are sensitive to tar pigments may experience symptoms such as headaches, nausea, skin allergies, weakness, and emotional instability. Tar pigments are also a cause of cancer.

Lipstick works. It is incorrect to talk about harm without considering the dosage. As long as the lipstick is of qualified quality, the harmful substances are generally controlled within the permitted range, so the lipstick can be used and has no obvious harmful effects on the human body.

1. Do not buy inferior lipsticks without any labels. Try to choose colorless and odorless products to reduce the impact of pigments and fragrances on the body.

2. Don’t lick your lipstick after applying it. It is best to wipe it off before meals.

3. Wipe off lipstick when removing makeup.

Lipstick is not the same as lipstick. Most lipsticks contain lead. Long-term application of lipstick will cause keratinization of the epithelial tissue of the lips, dry and itchy lips, and in severe cases, desquamation and even inflammation. Especially for those who have dry lips, it is not suitable for frequent use.
