A lot of people think about the question - what happens when you eat too much lipstick? Will eating too much do harm to your body? Is it okay to wear lipstick every day?

It is not difficult to answer this question, as long as we analyze the composition of lipstick, and then calculate how much lipstick will be eaten on average every day, we can answer the above questions.

In 2005, a European laboratory experimented, choosing 360 volunteers aged 19-65 who had the habit of wearing lipstick every day.

Recording the amount of lipstick used by the volunteers every day, it came to an average of 24.6 milligrams of lipstick per day, and the largest amount of lipstick used was 80 milligrams per day.

Let's calculate the amount of lipstick used in a year. According to the average value, the amount of lipstick used in a year: is 0.0246g x 365 = 8.979g.

According to the highest value, the amount of lipstick used in a year: is 0.08 x 365 = 29.2 g. The average amount of lipstick used in a year is 2-6 sticks.

This is European data and is the amount of lipstick used every day.

Most consumers probably don't use as much as this, and not 100% of the lipstick is eaten.

If we do that math, we could probably eat about 2 lipsticks per year.

So, is there any harm to the body from all this ingested lipstick?

From the ingredient list, we can find that the main ingredients of lipstick are synthetic lipids, olefin compounds, silicone oils, synthetic waxes, high-grade fatty alcohols, thickeners, emulsifiers, coloring agents, moisturizers, and so on.

Some of these ingredients are often added to food and can be consumed, so there is no need to worry about their safety.

Some of them are not added to food but have been clinically verified as safe ingredients and are not harmful to the human body.

The only thing that makes people a little worried is the coloring agents in the ingredients.

Lipstick colorful color, mainly these coloring agents, coloring agents from a variety of mineral color powder, which contains no heavy metals, will not lead to heavy metal poisoning.

Many countries have made strict provisions for the content of heavy metals in cosmetics.

The lead eaten through lipstick every day is much lower than the lead ingested through table salt, within the normal metabolism of the human body.

Therefore, the heavy metals eaten through lipstick are negligible.

To summarize, wearing lipstick every day will not cause harm to the human body, you can rest assured that you can boldly use, it to indulge in its charm.

Of course, the premise is that your lipstick should meet your national standards, and be a regular manufacturer of products.
