💄 You Don’t Need 40 Ingredients in Your Lipstick
Let’s be real—we’ve all bought lipsticks for the color, the packaging, or the hype. But have you ever turned the tube around and read the ingredients?
Most conventional lipsticks are filled with synthetic dyes, petroleum byproducts, and endocrine disruptors your body doesn’t need (especially since—you guessed it—you end up swallowing some of it!).
These are the red flags I personally avoid when checking labels:
Fragrance / Parfum
Red 40, Red 28, Yellow 5 (synthetic dyes)
Petrolatum
BHT
Parabens
These ingredients can mess with your hormones, trigger skin sensitivities, and have no place in something you apply multiple times a day.
