FAQ

Why is Lanolin used in lipstick products?

Superb emollient that closely mimics human skin lipids. Creates a protective, moisturizing barrier and softens dry, cracked skin.

How many lipstick products contain Lanolin?

In our database, 3 lipstick products contain Lanolin as a flagged ingredient. The actual number on the market is likely much higher, as our database covers major brands but not every product available.

Is Lanolin more dangerous in lipstick than other products?

Risk depends on exposure route and frequency. Lipstick products are applied directly to the lips, where ingredients are ingested through eating and drinking. Daily use is fine for those without lanolin sensitivity. Monitor for redness or irritation.

What is a safe alternative to lipstick with Lanolin?

Look for lipstick products that use shea butter, cocoa butter, plant-derived squalane instead of Lanolin. Numbrrrz lip balm uses only organic, food-grade ingredients and contains zero flagged chemicals.
