Reading a label on your makeup is essential so you know what’s going on your skin. While we use all-natural ingredients without the use of any chemicals, artificial colourants and fragrances, as a consumer, it is imperative to know what each one does for you. We took one of our best-selling organic liquid matte lipstick to give you a low down on all the ingredients it has. You’ll see what goes behind making a single lipstick. Each formulation is special and all these ingredients are added in proportions to make the lipstick smooth for application, binding, to enhance the colour and keep it long-lasting.
- Kaolin - Kaolin is used as a cleanser and to exfoliate the skin in cosmetics. It also has featured in it that help in absorbency, texture, and adding weight to the lipsticks.
- Isododecane - Isododecane is used to increase the ease of spread in lipsticks. It gives a sense of weightlessness on the skin which is essential when you wear makeup all day. The ingredient also helps in preventing evaporation of water from skin, keeping them hydrated.
- Disterdimonium Hectorite - Disteardimonium Hectorite is a naturally occurring clay mineral hectorite, which is used as a thickening agent for lipsticks. That’s how you get the build on a lipstick.
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane - Polymethylsilsesquioxane has the function of a film-forming agent on the skin. It creates an invisible film on the surface of skin, which in turn gives a lubricating, smooth, silky feel and no greasiness or stickiness. It still allows oxygen, nitrogen, and other important nutrients to pass through, but blocks water from evaporating.
- Trimethylsiloxy Silicate – What makes your lipstick last longer? It’s this. Trimethylsiloxy Silicate is responsible for long-lasting and waterproof lipsticks by forming a film.
- Tapioca Starch – Tapioca starch works as a natural thickener and texture enhancer. It is derived from the roots of the Manihot esculenta (Cassava) shrub and contains thickening properties for a good build.
- Synthetic Wax – This wax helps to ensure that your lipstick does not become brittle. It is essentially an agent that holds all the other ingredients together.
- Silica - Silica is a natural agent found in sand and is added in lipstick formulation to make the mixture opaque. It is not known to have a colour of its own.
- Propylene Carbonate - The primary function of this ingredient is that of a solvent. It is typically used in very less concentration as a skin cleansing product.
- Octyldodcanol – This is often used as a texture enhancer to offer lubrication in lipsticks.
- Titanium Dioxide – This is a mined mineral, which is famous for its natural SPF factor. SPF is equally important in lipsticks as it is in products for the skin.
- Trihydroxy Stearin- This is used as a skin conditioning agent, solvent and one that gives a lipstick some viscosity or thickening.
