THANK U SOO MUCH=)What ingredient in lip gloss makes it stay! PLEASE help! [10 pts]?
looked up a couple of lip glosses - lancome, mac, and nars


i think it would be anything that acts like some kind of emollient (oil/wax). with the lancome and the nars, which are the stickiest, they use polybutene as the first/second ingredient. the nars uses lanolin oil as the first ingredient. the mac one has hydrogenated polyisobutene. if you look the different major ingredients up on wikipedia or just google them you can see what purpose they serve. if their main purpose is as some kind of emollient, try to figure out what the chemical properties of it are - in terms of molecular weight and polarity and things like that. and try to figure out how that correlates to staying power/feel on the skin.


the book ';handbook of cosmetic science and technology'; by A.O. Barel has a section under Water-In-Oil Emulsions that very briefly mentions molecular weight and emollients. might give you a starting point and you can look at some of the book on google books search.What ingredient in lip gloss makes it stay!

I think more than making lip gloss last, you need to ask if the ingredients are healthy and natural in the lip gloss. I personally would never use any other lip gloss than the 100% natural brands that I buy - long lasting or not. I only use Arbonne products now. They are all natural, healthy and they work.





Mineral oil, petroleum and animal by products are not healthy and I am not into eating them or putting them on my skin. Mineral oil is the #2 ager of skin, next to the sun.








The secret to making your lip color last longer is first of all to apply a layer of foundation, dust some powder on lips and then color. After these manipulations your lipstick will not change color or dark your lips. It鈥檚 also useful to apply two coats of lipstick for long lasting lip color. Matt lipsticks normally last longer than the shiny ones.
Lip gloss doesn't stay. Its gloss so it just slides off. All the stuff where it says it makes it stay longer by putting a different coat over it is just putting wax over the top and changing it from lip gloss to lip stick.
