Why Hypoallergenic Lipstick Matters
Did you know that according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, over 50% of women report skin reactions to cosmetics? Our lips are especially vulnerable because they're thinner and more absorbent than other skin. As we get wiser (ahem... over 40), our skin becomes even more sensitive.
Dr. Lauren Hamilton, a board-certified dermatologist, explains: "Many lipsticks contain hidden irritants like synthetic dyes and preservatives that cause reactions. True hypoallergenic formulas avoid these problematic ingredients while maintaining vibrant color payoff."
Ingredients That Don't Make the Cut
At Red Apple Lipstick, we ban these common troublemakers:
- Synthetic dyes (like FD&C lakes)
- Petroleum derivatives
- Parabens and harsh preservatives
- Artificial fragrances
- Menthol and peppermint oils
These ingredients are linked to contact dermatitis according to the American Contact Dermatitis Society.
