Lip Gloss ingredients:

Rated 1 (low hazard) out of 10 (hazardous) by the Environmental Working Group’s "Skin Deep" rating system.

• Organic castor oil--an evergreen shrub that has been used medicinally for about 4,000 years.  Castor oil contains lectins which are carbohydrate binding proteins.
• Organic beeswax--produced from the hives of honey bees.  It is estimated that these bees fly approximately 150,000 miles to produce one pound of beeswax.  Right now there is an alert in the science and agriculture sectors because the bee colonies are disappearing.
• Organic carnauba wax--derived from the leaves of a Brazilian plant called the carnauba palm (Copernicia prunifera).
• Organic shea butter--extracted from the fruit of the shea tree.  Shea butter has strong moisturing and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Vitamin E--derived from soy.
• May contain (+/-): Mica--a silicate mineral from the earth, whose name comes from the Latin word 'micare', meaning 'shine'.  Mica use dates back way back to prehistoric times, with the earliest use found in paleolithic cave paintings.
• may contain (+/-): Carmine--a pigment derived from carminic acid, from the scales of certain insects such as the cochineal.  Vegans and people not turned on by bugs should not use the products we make with carmine.  Carmine is the only red color alternative to synthetic FD&C coloring, however, so we feel it is the better choice.
• May contain (+/-): Titanium dioxide--the natural occurring oxide of titanium, a substance mined from the earth.  The website "Skin Deep", which measures toxicity in make-up, indicates that titanium dioxide has "little absorption and no adverse health effects".  Titanium dioxide can be found in toothpastes and other food substances as well.  It is rated very safe by all accounts, but working with the substance can cause lung and respiratory problems.  PeaceKeeper would like to see more concrete research, as data gaps remain.
• May contain (+/-): Iron oxides--consist of sixteen known compounds of either oxides or hydroxides and oxidehydroxides.  Iron oxide yields pigments which are used in cosmetics and are considered non-toxic.
• *Regarding ultramarine blue--the current ingredient list on our packaging names ultramarine blue as an ingredient but in actuality it is not an ingredient.  We apologize for any confusion caused by this.
