Lip gloss enhances beauty, self-expression, attractiveness and confidence. Lip gloss has been around for almost a century, impacting society by boosting self esteem, fashion, and the market within the beauty industry. What is lip gloss made of? What is it that makes a lip gloss so magical and beautiful at the same time?

Generally speaking, lip gloss is made from oils, waxes, pigments, emollients, and flavorings. These are the most common ingredients, but each lip gloss can include different ingredients based on its intended usage. Lip gloss companies have their own unique formulas and specific ingredients they use, creating vast options of different kinds of lip glosses, with different colors, scents, appearances, and textures.

It is important to note that some ingredients in lip glosses can be organic while others can be synthetic. They can also contain some ingredients that may cause allergy or irritation to certain people, while being completely harmless to others. Reading the ingredients label on each product can tell you exactly what ingredients are used to make up that specific gloss formula.
