Lipsticks are made from three basic ingredients: wax, oil, and pigment. The oils, such as petrolatum, lanolin, cocoa butter, jojoba, castor, and mineral, add moisture and change the intensity of the lipstick's formula
. Pigment is the color, while waxes provide shape and a spreadable texture
. Some drugstore lipsticks may contain lead, cadmium, aluminum, chromium, and other potentially toxic chemicals, so it's essential to be aware of the ingredients and choose products from reputable brands
