What's in lipstick?

Depending on current trends, the ideal lipstick can be glossy, matte, sheer, highly opaque or color-intensive. The perfect lipstick has a high melting point of approximately 55 to 65 °C, so it does not run even in warm temperatures and is very stable and does not fall off during application. At the same time, the texture is soft and easy to apply on the lips, spreading evenly and forming a smooth film. It should only melt when applied on the lips and not before. All of this is achieved with the right mix.

Lip gloss has the same ingredients as lipstick, but in different proportions: usually less wax and more oil. Due to the different texture, it is usually served in containers.
