Raw Materials For The Product
Oils :
1. Castor oil
2. Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA)& esters
3. Fatty acid alkyl amides
4. Paraffin oil
5. Isopropyl myristate
6. Isopropyl palmitate
7. Butyl stearate
Castor oil 100ml is Rs.200 at least from sri lanka. The availability of the product is huge in
our country.at first most of the oil was imported but now we use it for our own product
manufacturing
So, this is rs.1050 for 5L, so you can see what is more important is selection is mange the cost of the raw
material.(production )
(3) Bromo mixture
Maintain the physical form of the formulation. This is also called as bromo acids. Hazel bishop is the one who
discover this first, because when we use only pigment it will come of much quicker .in here we use moisture bromo
acid for this.
There are two class:
1. Red
2. Orange, red
About 2-3% bromo acid are used because due to its absorptivity of moisture of the lips.
So, if we want to proper a bromo mix, first we add bromo acid 15g, then propylene glycol 200g
&propylene glycol monomyristate 100g are mix them and get the bromo mixture .
(4) colors
people more care about this color when they buy the product.in 18 th ,19th century the carmine was widely use.
now days it is different.
We can sperate it to two ways:
1. Soluble dyes (eg, fluorescein, eosin)
2. Insoluble dyes (eg, lakes of Ca, Ba, Al, Sr)
(TiO2 is used to make pink )
(5) preservatives
Used to prevent microbial growth (eg, methyl paraben, propyl paraben)
Burning sensation or allergic reactions can occur due to the high concentration of the preservatives.
In general, you can see this kind of high concentration is not good for us
(6) fragrance
Alcohol used as solvent to mix the wax & oil in lipstick.
Fragrance use to make a pleasant scent to the lipstick.
This is one essential component (material) as the color because people really care about Quality, attraction &
fragrance only.
Concentration of fragrance is 2-4%.
(7) antioxidants
prevent rancidification of oily base during storage ( gallic acid, propyl gallate, BHA-butylated hydroxytoluence,BHA-
butylated hydroxyanisole
, critic acid)
