Why is lipstick easily removed by petroleum jelly but not by water?

Like dissolves like. Lipstick is made of greasy or polar molecules, and so is petroleum jelly. Water is a polar molecule. Just like oil and water don't mix, nor does water and lipstick. Water is good at removing polar molecules (like salt for instance), but not good at removing grease. That is why you have to use soap to clean clothes -- because water alone does not remove grease or oils.See the Related Questions for more about how soap works.


How can a crime lab use paper chromatography to determine if lipstick at a crime scene match the suspects?

A crime lab can use paper chromatography to analyze the pigments and chemical components of lipstick found at a crime scene. By applying a small sample of the lipstick onto chromatography paper and using a solvent to separate the components, the lab can create a distinct profile of the lipstick's ingredients. This profile can then be compared to samples from the suspect's lipstick; if the patterns and colors match closely, it can support the case that the suspect's lipstick was present at the crime scene. This method is valuable for its ability to reveal subtle differences in composition that may be unique to specific brands or batches of lipstick.
