Hygienic Lipstick

Hygienic lipstick is included in the basic set of skin care products. In the summer, it is protection for the whole family from the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation, in the winter - prevention of "chapped" lips.

Gentle lips with no signs of peeling make any face more attractive. Their well-groomed appearance is as natural as clean hair and fresh clothes; therefore, hygienic lipstick is necessary not only for women in a cosmetics bag, but also for men and children.

The skin on the lips is thin and sensitive. It has no sebaceous glands, is not able to produce melanin for natural protection against ultraviolet rays and is more susceptible to the natural aging process without additional care. It is possible to return softness and moisture to a delicate cover in different ways, but the most convenient and effective of them is to use good hygienic lipstick.

Hygienic lipsticks and balms for women's lips are different from the universal product by the presence of additional components: fragrances, coloring pigment or glitters - substances that increase blood flow and increase lip volume. Also, hygienic lipstick can act as a base for decorative cosmetics. It protects the skin from drying out, ultraviolet radiation, and sticking to persistent color.

Lipsticks with shea butter, cocoa, jojoba and panthenol are very popular.

A characteristic feature of ladies' products is the beautiful design of the tank. Classic packaging in the format of stick can be decorated with patterns, decorative elements on the lid or have an unusual shape.

Children's skin requires a special approach in choosing cosmetic products. She is very gentle and vulnerable, so the tools for adults are not suitable for her. Hygienic lipstick for children should be hypoallergenic, without fragrances, silicones and parabens. You should also exclude products with minerals, potent ingredients and preservatives in the composition.

Lipstick manufacturers care about taste, producing products with fruit and candy flavors and sweeteners.Food flavors do not pose any danger, but for children it is better to choose a colorless specimen.

The composition of hygienic lipstick provides its medicinal and cosmetic properties. The basic components are:

• Beeswax. This is a natural basis for the manufacture of lipstick, which gives the thickness, hardness, the ability to maintain shape after curing. Upon contact with the skin, the wax heats up easily and becomes soft, due to which the product is easily applied to the lips.
• Vegetable oils. As part of hygienic lipsticks and lip balms, oils are used that are rich in ingredients that provide nourishment, softening and moisturizing.
• Extracts of medicinal plants - auxiliary components that enhance the action of oils. Aloe vera has an antiseptic effect, softens and heals, calendula reduces inflammation, chamomile protects against the aggressive effects of frost and wind.
• Vitamins. Retinol, tocopherol, ascorbic acid - the key to beauty and youthful skin of the lips. B vitamins stimulate collagen production, deeply nourish and saturate with moisture;
• Fatty acid. Provide velvety and soft skin, slow down the aging process:
• Thermal water. Thermal hygienic lipstick protects and "overhauls" the skin, relieves irritation, gives a feeling of comfort and moisture.
