Morning
I know yesterday was a healthy dose of information, so today I’ll answer the question I’m most asked about – how did I start making lipstick from food and also chat a little about mineral oils and synthetic hydrocarbons in our beauty and personal care products.
Over the last few days you may have been more aware of the amount of chemicals in food, and as we head deeper into #28NBR, you may be surprised to learn how many synthetic toxic ingredients are added to conventional beauty and personal care products.
The skin, our largest organ, helps regulate and expel toxins. These toxins are chemicals produced outside the body that, if …show more content…
Why they bad for you: According to a study conducted by the Journal of Women’s Health in 2002, mineral oil was found to be one of the greatest contaminant of the human body. The study found that it disrupts the skin’s natural immune barrier and inhibits the skin’s ability to breathe and absorb natural moisture, which in turn slows down cell development and prematurely ages skin.
Mineral oils can be composed of organic and inorganic base stock oils combined with ‘polymer packages’ (plastic) to produce synthesised oil compounds. Lipsticks and lip care products may contain saturated hydrocarbons which either stem from mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) or are synthetic, that is polyolefin oligomeric saturated hydrocarbons (POSH).
Some of these hydrocarbons (e.g. hydrogenated solids like paraffin wax) are strongly accumulated and form granulomas in human tissues, which prompted Cosmetics Europe (former Colipa) to issue a recommendation for their use in lip care and oral products. Your #28NBR
