The phrase "lipstick on a pig" refers to making superficial or cosmetic changes to a product in a futile effort to disguise its fundamental failings. It is often used to describe a bad product that is being marketed as good. However, it is important to note that the phrase can also be misunderstood as referring to the user interface (UI) of a product, rather than the overall user experience (UX) .
Regarding ingredients or materials, it is worth noting that some cosmetics and personal care products may contain animal-derived ingredients, such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, stearic acid, and keratin, which can come from pigs or other animals. However, not all such ingredients are derived from animals, and it can be difficult to know for sure which products contain them.
