What is lipstick made of

I believe many people don’t know what the main ingredients of lipstick are, but we do know which brands of lipstick are better, which has a certain impact on our use of the therapeutic value of lipstick. The main ingredients of lipstick are oil base, wax and pigment, etc., and some lipsticks will add some nourishing oil, so you can find out the ingredients of the lipstick you bought from the back of the lipstick.

The main components of lipstick are oil base, wax, pigment, glitter (some lipsticks do not have it), and some also add nutritional oil. Because the formula is relatively simple, the difference between high-end and cheap products is not very big. Of course, sometimes we feel that high-end lipsticks look smoother and more beautiful. This is because they are baked with open flames after demoulding. Because the lipstick contains wax, the surface will be very smooth after baking, but this has nothing to do with the use effect and is only for aesthetic considerations.

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.

The materials used to make lipstick are oils, fats and waxes.

Wax: Palm wax and beeswax are the most commonly used. Palm wax is less likely to melt. Oil: mineral oil, vegetable oil, lanolin, paraffin oil (petroleum jelly). Colorant: Contains pigments or dyes. The pigments used in lipstick must be finer particles so that they can adhere evenly to the lips. Some lipsticks with glittering effects also contain ingredients such as mica, iron oxide, and titanium dioxide.

Lipstick, also known as lip balm, is mainly composed of lanolin, wax and pigments. Lanolin has a complex composition and can easily cause allergic reactions in people with allergies. In addition, lanolin has strong adsorption properties and can adsorb tiny particles of harmful substances such as dust, bacteria, viruses in the air onto the oral mucosa, causing local irritation. This not only increases the chance of causing allergies, but also when people drink water or eat, they bring lipstick and its attachments into the mouth. Over time, these harmful substances accumulate in the body, causing potential harm to the body.

The pigments contained in lipstick are harmful to the human body. If you are not careful when drinking water or eating, these harmful substances will enter the body and affect your health. Especially women have more opportunities to eat snacks. If their eating hygiene habits are poor, they are more likely to be harmed by lipstick.
