Lipstick is a cosmetic that contains pigments, oils, waxes and emollients that provide color, texture and protection to the lips.

There are many colors and types of lipstick. Like most other types of make-up, lipstick is usually (but not limited to) worn by women. Some lipsticks are also lip gloss, which increase skin color and moisturizing effect.

Lipstick contains wax, oil, antioxidants and emollients. Wax provides a structure for solid lipstick. Lipstick can be made of several kinds of wax, such as beeswax, smelly wax and candlelight tree wax. Because of its high melting point, carnauba wax is the key ingredient to enhance lipstick. Lipsticks are made of various oils, such as olive oil, mineral oil, cocoa butter, lanolin and vaseline.

Lead and other trace metals are also found in many lipsticks. By looking at the composition table, it is impossible to know if these metals are in lipstick, because they are not intentionally added components, but rather unintentionally added pollutants. These trace metals are naturally occurring and are occasionally absorbed by other chemicals used in lipstick production. Lead and other trace metals will not be listed in the ingredients of different lipsticks. Find the lead acetate, chromium, mercuric sulfide, hydrogenated cottonseed oil and sodium six phosphate in the ingredient list of lipstick. These chemicals contain trace amounts of natural metals, such as lead.
