What are the harms of lipsticks to the human body?
1. The main ingredients of lipsticks are lanolin, wax, and dyes. Due to the complex composition of lanolin, it can easily cause allergic reactions, such as dry and peeling lips, itching, or slight pain.
2. Lanolin in lipsticks has strong adsorption properties and can absorb dust, bacteria, viruses, and some heavy metal ions in the air onto the lips' mucous membrane. When drinking water or eating, the lipstick and these harmful substances can be unintentionally ingested into the body.
3. All coal tar dyes used in lipsticks are dreadful carcinogens, and the amount of this substance in lipsticks far exceeds the allowed amount in food. After applying lipstick, during talking, drinking tea, or eating, it is inevitable that the lipstick will be inadvertently licked and enter the body.
4. According to relevant information from abroad, 18.2% of cancer cases among young female patients are related to lipsticks. Lipsticks contain high levels of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. Lead has accumulative effects, and long-term inhalation can lead to chronic lead poisoning, causing anemia, abdominal pain, acute renal failure, and neurological disorders.
5. Preservatives and antioxidants like BHA have been proven to be potential carcinogens. For example, preservatives like parabens can cause breast tumors.
