Every day, millions of women use lipstick without knowing if it contains dangerous chemicals. Many studies have found surprising numbers and amounts of lead and other toxic metals in lipsticks.

In fact, lead in lipstick was considered an urban legend until results from an independent lab were released. According to the findings, 61 percent of lipsticks contain lead, with levels as high as 0.65 parts per million. Lead-contaminated brands include even L'Oreal, Cover Girl, and Dior.

A wide variety of lipsticks are produced today. The main features of these products are that they last for a long time, are easy to apply and remove, are physically and chemically stable, and do not irritate the skin.

The waxes and oils in the lipstick are responsible for the ease of application. Thanks to thermal analysis techniques, the quality of such products is easily controlled. Cosmetic products often have complex formulations, so good analytical techniques are needed to monitor the quality of such products.

Lipsticks are mainly composed of additives such as oils (50-65 percent), waxes (10-20 percent), fats or plasticizers (10-20 percent), pigments (10-15 percent), and antioxidants. Its primary function is to provide color and protection to the lips. The waxes used are usually beeswax or carnauba wax. Carnauba wax has a very high melting point and is therefore responsible for the stability of the lipstick.
