Lipstick is typically made up of three basic ingredients: wax, oil, and pigment. The wax provides shape and a spreadable texture, while the oil adds moisture and changes the intensity of the lipsticks formula. Pigment refers to the color of the lipstick. However, some lipsticks may contain harmful ingredients that can be absorbed by the body, such as parabens, synthetic dyes, and artificial fragrances. Some of these ingredients may cause health problems such as hormone disruption, skin rashes, and migraines. On the other hand, some lipsticks use natural ingredients such as plant oils and butters. It is important to read the ingredient list and choose lipsticks made with safe and non-toxic ingredients.
