Life of Lipstick


Lipstick began as a product that could only be afforded and used by royalty. Over the time-span of several centuries, lipstick became easier to make and became more affordable. As the price of lipstick fell, royalty stopped using it. Instead, it was a sign of being impoverished or promiscuous. Today, lipstick is being mass produced and it used by women of all social statuses around the world.

Lipstick Main Ingredients

  • Wax
  • Oil
  • Pigments
  • Alcohol
  • Preservatives
  • Based on brand, other supplements are added
The packaging of the lipstick is the only thing left after consumption. It is typically made of an aluminum tube and a plastic spiral. These can then be recycled or reused.
