Wax, oil, alcohol, and pigment.





The wax used usually involves some combination of three types of Beeswax, candelilla wax, or camauba.





Oils such as mineral, caster, lanolin, or vegetable are added to the wax.





Preservatives and antioxidants, are added to prevent lipstick from becoming rancid.





Moisturizers, vitamin E, aloe vera, collagen, amino acids, and sunscreen have been added to lipstick to keep lips soft, moist, and protected from the elements.
well, i dont know everything thats used to make lipstick, but i do know that there are fish scales in listick, and lard in lipgloss, thats kinda like butter, so thats where your mum probably got fat from.
