Is cheap lipstick harmful to your health?

Lipstick is a very popular cosmetic among modern beauty lovers. Lipstick can bring very beautiful colors to people's image. Therefore, people in modern life have a great demand for lipstick. However, illegal businesses produce a large number of inferior lipsticks for profit. These lipsticks are very cheap and consumed by a large number of people. Let's take a look at whether cheap lipsticks are harmful to the body? I hope everyone can understand.

1. Qualified lipstick is not toxic to our body, but due to the composition of lipstick, long-term application of lipstick can cause keratinization of the lips. Many friends may have already felt this deeply. Long-term application of lipstick will make the lips itchy, and sometimes they may even peel frequently. This is the lip reaction caused by long-term application of lipstick.

2. One of the raw materials of lipstick - oil, can penetrate the skin and be dissolved by saliva. Moreover, these oils can absorb bacteria and metal ions in the air. After being dissolved by saliva, they can enter the mouth and then enter our body, which can cause harm to our health.

3. Many cheap lipsticks have high lead content. Since lead exists naturally in our environment, it is inevitable that it appears as an impurity in cosmetics. However, if manufacturers can strictly comply with FDA's production process, they can still control the lead content in cosmetics within FDA standards. But cheap lipsticks may not contain lead that meets the standards!

4. Lip colors vary. Healthy lip color is pink, but you will find that many women now have lip colors that are either very light or very dark. This is because long-term use of lipstick causes the lip pigment to precipitate, resulting in different lip colors.

5. Symptoms such as chapped lips, peeling lips, and pain are collectively known as Wie lipstick disease, which are mostly caused by some ingredients in lipstick that induce lip allergies. You should know that our lips do not have a stratum corneum, only a thin membrane, which can be easily penetrated by harmful ingredients and induce lipstick disease.
