Reasons for usage  There are far too many chemicals to tell you what they’re used for, as there are about 284 chemicals in beeswax alone. There are ones that perform actions separately such as capsaicin. Capsaicin is the chemical that makes peppers hot. Smaller amounts make lips puff up. Carnauba wax is also important as it’s the wax with the highest melting point. This stops the lipstick from melting. The other waxes help hold together the lipstick and also help gloss. The oils help moisturize and soften the skin. They also help apply the dyes.

How its made  The materials are first ground down into a fine powder. After that they are mixed with the some wax and oils. Then it is poured into a mold like a crayon. Chilled to harden and finally bathed in flame to shine and remove imperfection. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=how+its+made+lipstick&&view=detail&mid=0AE806309D8615253D4F0AE806309D8615253D4F&FORM=VRDGAR

Social justice and environmental problems There are many cases of lead content in the lipstick. The highest found is in Cover Girl, L’Oreal, and Revlon.  A more current test found that Maybelline has the highest lead level. Metals that include lead are accidentally harvested with other ingredients for lipstick. They are not listed as ingredients but are still quite dangerous. Lead collects in the body, meaning that lipstick is most dangerous to teens and adult women. Other chemicals known as methylparaben, propylparaben, and retinyl palmitate. These chemicals are known to cause cancer.
