The composition of lipsticks ... let's talk about it!

3...2...1! Today we are officially launching the recipe for our lipsticks !

After several tests and confirmation from our expert toxicologist, the recipe is ready.

If until now we only offered face, body and hair care and hygiene products, we now want to expand the possibilities and offer you to make your own makeup . And the Beauty Mix team is off to a strong start with a range of lipsticks!

Today we give you our new recipe and the advantages of making your own makeup!

What are the lipsticks we buy made of?

We are all fans of it, lipstick has its place in a successful makeup routine. To complete an eye make-up or to enhance your lips, whether nude or bright red, it's THE final touch.

And did you know? 900 million sticks are sold each year worldwide! And you can ingest nearly 2kg of lipstick in a lifetime. It is therefore worth checking their composition ...

Do you know exactly what your tube contains?

Generally, a classic lipstick is composed of:

  • Waxes to give consistency. They can be of animal origin (beeswax), vegetable (candelilla wax) but are more synthetic or mineral.

  • Vegetable and mineral oils derived from petroleum. But also silicones, liquid fatty alcohols and ethers which allow to give shine and which also have a lubricating and slippery power

  • Vegetable butters, providing the smoothness that lipstick needs

  • Pigments, such as titanium dioxide which is a white pigment used as a food additive but which will be removed due to its potential carcinogenic effect, but which is still present in cosmetics

  • Flavorings used in food such as vanilla and cocoa

  • Antioxidants to protect the formula such as vitamin C also called tocopherol which is natural, synthetics such as BHA and BHT phenolics...

The composition is therefore not always clean, and we have decided to bring you a better alternative!
