The science behind cosmetics!

Hello JRCS Scientists!  

Today we will be speaking about the science behind cosmetics! We will see how the cosmetics are made and some of the ingredients which are added to them!

First of all, here is a video to watch to get a better insight on how some lipsticks are made:



As you can see, a lot of science goes in to making just one little tube of lipstick. From the machinery to the waxes, every aspect is unique.

There were also some very unique ingredients that are added into lipstick such as waxes, moisturisers and pigments (which I’m sure you already know from the video but just to re-cap).

Now you know how your lipstick is made!
