Your Lipstick: Made With Cow Brains

Maybe yours is :) But mine is made with:
Ingredients: helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, beeswax, euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax, lanolin, theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, tocopheryl acetate, tocopherol, mentha piperita (peppermint) oil, copernicia cerifera (carnauba) wax, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf oil. May contain: iron oxide, mica, carmine, titanium dioxide

Lanolin comes from sheep wool; tocopheryl comes from the lab but is made from soy, and carmine comes from crushing the life out of zillions of little beetles for their shells.

Happiness is a dad who was in the industry & who once told you how standard lipsticks & makeups are made.

Thanks for posting this, though. People have a right to know and make their own choices

“The Center for Science in the Public Interest warns consumers that it’s virtually impossible to tell from reading the label if cow brains or spinal cord tissue are included in the ingredients.”

“Lanolin comes from sheep wool”

Well I know a guy that runs a fat rendering plant in L.A. and he skims off the lanolin ans sells it to cosmetic firms for cash.

I might add that he is a multi millionaire.
