Max Factor Lipstick

Products of the Max Factor brand appeared on the market of our country in difficult times of the 1990s. Immediately this product gained popularity and found its niche and was considered not only a good purchase, but also an excellent gift for women for various holidays. At the moment, the brand has many competitors, but the company does not intend to give up their positions. The range is constantly updated with new relevant products, and the quality remains at a high enough level.

The founder of the Max Factor brand is an American businessman with Polish origin Maximilian Faktorovich. The company name is formed from its own name and surname. A young man, born in Poland, from his youth plunged into the world of beauty and fashion. Even as a child he began to help the wig maker in his craft. Then he became an assistant make-up artist and worked in Russia at the Bolshoi Theater. It was this work that gave him extensive knowledge and useful experience. The young man opened his first cosmetics shop in Ryazan.

Prior to Max Factor products, few products combined the functions of decorative and caring cosmetics. The addition of useful ingredients to coloring agents was simply a revolution in decorative cosmetic products. Almost 60% of Max Factor products consist of nourishing and caring components, while the remaining 40 are responsible for creating a lasting, bright and even color and a pleasant shade.

The composition of the lipstick Max Factor is one of the innovative properties of this cosmetic product.

Special components that create a protective layer over the epidermis, provide resistance to harmful environmental factors.

Its amount is about 3.7 mg / kg. However, it should be noted that this number is within the normal range and this does not constitute a violation of production technology and existing quality parameters.

Max Factor lipstick has a rather long shelf life of three years from the production date.

However, during the study, the experts felt that some samples had a specific rancid smell with unexpired shelf life on the package. The appearance of an unpleasant odor may indicate an incorrectly selected chemical composition and premature oxidation of lipid constituents. Laboratory studies have revealed an increased number of acid and carbonyl groups, which also speaks in favor of product deterioration. This could be due to improper storage of cosmetic products during their transportation and sale in the store. In addition, the reason could be poor-quality raw materials and an unbalanced content of substances that prevent rancidity of fats.

When choosing a lipstick be sure to check the period of use, in any case, do not use the product after it expires. To protect yourself from poor-quality purchases, try to purchase goods in reliable stores that provide proper conditions for storage and sale.
