A pigment is a color. A lipstick pigment is what makes it the right color and shade, for example you have red pigments in red lipstick; blue & yellow pigments in green lipsticks; etc.

What if your sister said that lipstick is made out of whale sperm is she right?

The primary ingredients found in lipstick are wax, oil, alcohol, and pigment. The wax used usually involves some combination of three types---beeswax, candelilla wax, or the more expensive camauba. Wax enables the mixture to be formed into the easily recognized shape of the cosmetic. Oils such as mineral, caster, lanolin, or vegetable are added to the wax. Fragrance and pigment are also added, as are preservatives and antioxidants, which prevent lipstick from becoming rancid. And while every lipstick contains these components, a wide variety of other ingredients can also be included to make the substance smoother or glossy or to moisten the lips. Just as there is no standard to the lipstick size and container shape, there are no standard types of, or proportions for, ingredients used. Beyond the base ingredients (wax, oil, and antioxidants) supplemental material amounts vary greatly. The ingredients themselves range from complex organic compounds to entirely natural ingredients, the proportions of which determine the characteristics of the lipstick. Selecting lipsticks is, as with all cosmetics, an individual choice, so manufacturers have responded by making a wide variety of lipsticks available to the consumer. In general, wax and oil make up about 60 percent of the lipstick (by weight), with alcohol and pigment accounting for another 25 percent (by weight). Fragrance is always added to lipstick, but accounts for one percent or less of the mixture. In addition to using lipstick to color the lips, there are also lip liners and pencils. The manufacturing methods described here will just focus on lipstick and lip balms.

Is lipstick made from umbilicial cord?

Yes-well sort of, it is used as the tube holding the coloured -and sometimes scented- pigment used for colouring lips and cheeks: when a child is born, the chord is cut off using a special device. It is then carved and cleansed for 10 years and placed in a jar and bathed in olive oil. This keeps it fresh and hygenic for the person(s) who will be applying the pigment. So, overall, lipstick itself is not created using the chord, yet the tube itself is. Thankyou for reading, please rate.
