The chemical composition of Lip Sense lip colour

Lip Sense is a non-wax liquid and long lasting lip colour that provides a natural shield from the sun. The proprietary formulations and colour pigments help create a mechanical covering for the lips. That means the skin on the lips are protected from the sun’s rays by the colour pigments, therefore the lips are protected from harmful rays. That is just one of the reasons the lips become so smooth and soft with consistent use of these lipsticks.

It is formulated with denatured alcohol other chemicals because of the below listed reasons:

1. It is thinner than water and suspends the tiny particles within the formula.

2. It immediately evaporates from the skin upon the delivery of the technology to the skin. The ‘tingling’ sensation felt on the lips when some wearers first begin to use the colour, is the evaporation process of the denatured alcohol. It is felt within the dry cracks of the lips. This sensation disappears as lower layers of skin’s moisture content are restored by the use of the moisturizing gloss.

3. It is formulated with mica, which does not tend to wear as long as the solid matte shades of Lip Sense lipstick. Mica creates shine and shimmer.

4. The tiny particles help the colour pigments to molecularly bind to the skin. Over time, the particles begin to detach from the skin’s surface. The rate at which this occurs varies tremendously and is based upon the pH-balance of each person’s skin and the colour they have chosen to wear for the day.

5. Each tube of colour has a varied formulation and mixture of colour pigments to arrive at a specific colour. Some colours naturally last longer than others because of the different body chemistry of each wearer, plus some colours are thicker or richer in colour pigmentations, while others are sheer and thinner.

6. Layering is a must due to the fact the colour breaks down with the pH balance of the skin.

There are three layers in this permanent lipstick. The first layer touches the skin’s pH and will begin to break down first and fastest. The second layer is protected from the bottom, away from the skin’s pH, by the first layer. The third layer protects the second layer from the top down and prevents sheering of second layer of colour by keeping away friction, saliva and the natural environment. The third layer breaks down just like the first layer, but from the top down. The second layer is sandwiched between the first and third and is protected by both for the longest period of use.

Chemically, this is made up of cosmetic grade denatured alcohol, which is close to isopropyl alcohol – or rubbing alcohol. In fact, one needs denatured alcohol to apply the lipstick to lips.
