From the search results, it seems that the first and third links are relevant to the question about mascara product details, positive and negative aspects, and ingredients or materials. The first link provides information about contemporary mascara formulations, including the most common type of mascara formulation currently sold, which is a lamellar gel network (LGN) based oil in water emulsion, stabilized using soluble polymers. The article also lists the ingredients used in mascara formulations, including water, volatile solvents, LGN emulsifiers, paraffin, mascara pigments, and film formers. The most common pigments used in mascara formulations are black, yellow, and red iron oxides, while the film formers include lecithin, sodium polymethacrylate, and sodium polyacrylate. The article also mentions that lash lengthening/volume building fibers frequently used include nylon 6 and rayon, while preservatives are used to prevent microbial growth.
The third link provides a non-toxic mascara guide and lists the ingredients commonly used in mascara formulas. Solvents or diluents are the unifying base for the formula, while pigments provide color. Waxes, gums, polymers, fibers, and starches stabilize and thicken the formula, with some forming a film on the lashes and providing volumizing benefits, while fibers lengthen lashes. The article also mentions some of the ingredients that are concerning for humans and their eyes, such as triethanolamine, benzyl alcohol, and non-organic rice bran wax and rice bran oil.
In summary, mascara formulations typically include solvents, pigments, waxes, gums, polymers, fibers, and starches, and may contain preservatives to prevent microbial growth. The most common pigments used in mascara formulations are black, yellow, and red iron oxides, while the film formers include lecithin, sodium polymethacrylate, and sodium polyacrylate. Some ingredients used in mascara formulas may be concerning for humans and their eyes, such as triethanolamine, benzyl alcohol, and non-organic rice bran wax and rice bran oil.
