How Do We Know If The Lipstick Is Safe To Use? 👀

Lips are known to be sensitive and absorptive. They are covered by a layer of skin that’s much thinner than the skin that covers the rest of the face. Underneath is a sensitive mucous membrane. Lip skin also lacks hair and sweat glands, which means that our lips don’t have the same natural defenses provided by other types of skin.

There are countless worrisome ingredients in many lipstick products. So, to prevent adverse effects from occurring, here are the most common and concerning types of ingredients to look out for:

🌸Synthetic Antioxidants & Preservatives
Common ingredients that can be found in conventional lipsticks are BHA and BHT.
These two ingredients can present potential health risks as they have been linked to causing skin irritation, as well as disrupting the reproductive system and interfering with your hormones.

🌸Toxic heavy metals
Lead, aluminium, chromium, and cadmium are just a few of many types of heavy metals that have been detected in the ingredient lists of lipsticks.
With frequent use and long-term exposure, these toxic heavy metals can accumulate in our bodies and overtime pose a number of health-associated health risks.

🌸Harmful Petroleum & Mineral Oils
Both of these ingredients can pose potential health risks through prolonged periods of exposure such as skin allergies and inflammation, as well as a compromised immune system.

But the most important thing to consider when buying lipstick is to look for Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia approval. Don’t worry, all of NITA lipsticks have been approved by KKM. ✨
