What are the ingredients in revlon lipstick?

Answer 1

According to answers.com: The primary ingredients found in lipstick are wax, oil, alcohol, and pigment. The wax used usually involves some combination of three types-http://www.answers.com/topic/beeswax, candelilla wax, or the more expensive camauba. Wax enables the mixture to be formed into the easily recognized shape of the cosmetic. Oils such as mineral, http://www.answers.com/topic/caster, lanolin, or vegetable are added to the wax. Fragrance and pigment are also added, as are preservatives and http://www.answers.com/topic/antioxidant, which prevent lipstick from becoming http://www.answers.com/topic/rancid. And while every lipstick contains these components, a wide variety of other ingredients can also be included to make the substance smoother or http://www.answers.com/topic/glossy or to http://www.answers.com/topic/moisten the lips.

Answer 2

What ever is the component...but almost all revlon Lipsticks and glosses give me a harsh reaction on and around me lips

Be it a Revlon Lip liner or a Lip gloss or a colorstay Lipstick or a regular revlon lipstick.

Similar reaction with Streetwear gloss.

It gets me have a very dry and uncomfortable patch around my Lips.

Tried a patch test tooo but it just causes that reaction on lips.

For me....the harder it is for me to find the ingredients the more likely the chemical content being dangerous...its really sad

Answer 4

Here is a sample of ingredients in Maybelline eyeshadows, many of which are considered to be toxic chemicals (buyer beware!!). I'll explain below, but here's one list: Talc , Triisostearin , Phenyl Trimethicone , Magnesium Stearate , Synthetic Fluorphlogopite , Nylon-12 , Dimethicone , Phenoxyethanol , Alumina , Calcium Sodium Borosilicate , Cetyl Dimethicone , Synthetic Wax , Methylparaben , Trimethylsiloxysilicate , Silica , Ethylparaben , Propylparaben , Tin Oxide , Isobutylparaben , Butylparaben. . .

Do a search on "makeup ingredients to avoid & you'll find lots of info.

Parabens: Studies show Parabens possess mild estrogen-like qualities. Preliminary research uncovered parabens in human Breast cancer tumors. This does not prove a causal relationship, however. Parabens are ubiquitous. They are an estimated 75-90% of all personal care products. Even many so called "natural" and some organic skin care products contain parabens (check labels!).

Talc is closely related to the potent carcinogen asbestos. Talc particles have been shown to cause tumors in the ovaries and lungs of cancer victims. For the last 30 years, scientists have closely scrutinized talc particles and found dangerous similarities to asbestos. Responding to this evidence in 1973, the FDA drafted a resolution that would limit the amount of asbestos-like fibers in cosmetic grade talc. However, no ruling has ever been made and today, cosmetic grade talc remains non-regulated by the federal government. This inaction ignores a 1993 National Toxicology Program report which found that cosmetic grade talc, without any asbestos-like fibers, caused tumors in animal subjects.1 Clearly with or without asbestos-like fibers, cosmetic grade talcum powder is a carcinogen.

Q. What kind of exposure is dangerous?

A. Talc is toxic. Talc particles cause tumors in human ovaries and lungs. Numerous studies have shown a strong link between frequent use of talc in the female genital area and ovarian cancer. Talc particles are able to move through the reproductive system and become imbedded in the lining of the ovary. Researchers have found talc particles in ovarian tumors and have found that women with ovarian cancer have used talcum powder in their genital area more frequently than healthy women.2

Talc poses a health risk when exposed to the lungs. Talc miners have shown higher rates of lung cancer and other respiratory illnesses from exposure to industrial grade talc, which contains dangerous silica and asbestos. The common household hazard posed by talc is inhalation of baby powder by infants. Since the early 1980s, records show that several thousand infants each year have died or become seriously ill following accidental inhalation of baby powder.3
