What are the ingredients of the lipsticks?

I've heard a strange thing about the ingredients ...something that I cant believe.Something natural from our body.I mean waste of the human body! I've heard they use its oil...! Is it true?


What are the ingredients of the lipsticks?
Lipstick contains a variety of waxes, oils, pigments, and emollients. The wax gives lipstick its shape and ease of application. Among the waxes are beeswax, a substance obtained from bee honeycombs that consists of esters of straight-chain monohydric alcohols with even-numbered carbon chains from C24 to C36 and straight-chain acids also having even numbers of carbon atoms up to C36. Other waxes include carnauba wax, which is an exudate from the pores of leaves of Brazilian wax palm trees, and candelilla wax, which is obtained from the candelilla plant and is produced in Mexico by immersing the plants in boiling water containing sulfuric acid and skimming off the wax that rises to the surface.





The oils and fats used in lipstick include olive oil, mineral oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, lanolin, and petrolatum. More than 50% of lipsticks manufactured in the U.S. contain substantial amounts of castor oil. It forms a tough, shiny film when it dries after application. However, ingestion of large amounts of castor oil may cause frequent rest-room visits.





In recent years, ingredients such as moisturizers, vitamin E, aloe vera, collagen, amino acids, and sunscreen have been added to lipstick. The extra components keep lips soft, moist, and protected from the elements.





Lipstick gets its color from a variety of added pigments. Among them are bromo acid, D%26amp;C Red No. 21, and related dyes. Other common lipstick dyes are D%26amp;C Red No. 27 and insoluble dyes known as lakes, such as D%26amp;C Red No. 34, Calcium lake, and D%26amp;C Orange No. 17. Pink shades are made by mixing titanium dioxide with various shades of red.


What are the ingredients of the lipsticks?
The question has been asked here a few times. As far as I know lipstick is made of pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients.





Hope that helps

Oil probably for sure....I heard some of them actually use fish scales for the metallic look too.
In my biology book last year I read that fish scales and whale sperm were both in lip stick :/
they use bug blood too, for the coloring!
