Bottom material: oil, wax, softener, make lipstick solidify for a long time.

Wax: Palm wax and beeswax are the most commonly used, and palm wax is not easy to melt.

Oil: mineral oil, castor oil, lanolin, paraffin oil (vaseline)

Softener: it can increase the ability of color to attach to lips and moisturize lips.

Lip honey contains more oil and less wax.

Spices and seasonings: can mask the taste of the above ingredients.

Chemists believe that the six basic components of lipstick are beeswax, palm wax, candelilla wax, castor oil, lanolin and paraffin.
