What Ingredients Make Lipsticks Stick?

July 02, 2022

Waxes and oils form about 60% of a lipstick and are the ingredients responsible for making lipstick a solid stick or lip gloss a shiny goop. Waxes act as emulsifiers (that is, they keep the oils from separating from the rest of the liquid mixture) and emollients (moisturizers). 


               

Paraffin wax

Paraffin wax is derived from the process of refining petroleum into petrol. It is the same wax used to make most candles.

               

Carnauba wax

Carnauba wax, also known as Brazil or palm wax, is made from the leaves of Copernicia prunifera, a palm indigenous northeastern Brazil. It has one of the highest melting points of natural waxes, as well as hypoallergenic properties, and a high shine.


               
Ozokerite

Ozokerite, also known as earth wax, or ceresin when refined, is a naturally occurring mineral wax.

               
 Candelilla wax

Candelilla wax is derived from the candelilla shrub, native to parts of Mexico and the US. It is also known for being a main binding agent in chewing gum.

               
Polybutene

Polybutene is a polymer that bind together other ingredients and thickens the mixture.
