Are you searching for the right lipstick for the New Year
Recently, "Ning Xiao Persimmon" discovered an interesting phenomenon
Many young ladies before every meal and before drinking
Wipe off the lipstick
It turned out that I was afraid that I would be poisoned if I ate lipstick
Is this really the case?
Today, "Ning Xiaopersimmon" will reveal the truth to you
The basic components of lipstick
The raw materials of lipstick basically include the following four types:
01
Molding agent
This is the material that allows the lipstick to remain moderately hard. Typically, they are derived from natural waxes from animals or plants, such as beeswax, candelilla wax, and carnauba wax, among others.
02
Pigment toner
Mainly some metal oxides or organic macromolecules. Metal oxides are generally iron oxides, which are not toxic to the human body. But they usually come from metal mines and carry very small amounts of heavy metals. Therefore, the control of toner raw materials is the key to controlling the quality and safety of lipstick.
03
oil
Vegetable oils, such as castor oil, are mainly used, which work to disperse the toner more evenly in the forming agent and to adjust the hardness of the natural wax to make the lipstick easier to apply.
04
Additives
It is less abundant in lipstick raw materials, but the ingredients are complex, including preservatives, skin conditioning agents, moisturizers, etc.
Can "eating" lipstick be poisonous?
Many people are afraid that they will be poisoned by wearing lipstick, often because they are worried about the heavy metals in their lipsticks.
But generally speaking, qualified lipstick products are produced under very strict standards. Taking lead as an example, according to the 2015 edition of the "Safety and Technical Specifications for Cosmetics", the upper limit of lead content in cosmetics is 10mg/kg, and under normal circumstances, the human body will only cause poisoning if it ingests more than 2g of lead at one time.
In 2019, the Shenzhen Municipal Consumer Council conducted a lipstick comparison test, and the results showed that the heavy metal indicators of the participating lipsticks met the standard. According to the calculation of "the highest detection value of mercury is 0.03mg/kg, and one lipstick is 3.5g" in this comparative test, assuming that consumers "eat" all the lipsticks they have applied and are absorbed into the bloodstream, they need to wear 12,857 lipsticks to cause mild mercury poisoning.
