Low-priced lipsticks are risky and inferior products or affect your health

After using a new lipstick in the New Year, not only did not achieve the desired lip effect, but the phenomenon of redness and swelling of the lips appeared. A few days ago, some media said that a citizen had used the inferior lipstick after the above situation. Experts remind that the quality of lipsticks and lip glosses currently on the market are different. Consumers should be careful when choosing and purchase according to their personal physique and needs.

Below 10 yuan, it basically belongs to three no products.

Lip balm is a common cosmetic used in autumn and winter, which is very common in the market, but the quality of the product is worrying. A few days ago, the reporter visited Qingyuan Market and found that lip products can be seen everywhere. In addition to the sale of counters in major shopping malls and supermarkets, Yiwu Trade City and various small cosmetics counters are sold. In addition to the familiar brands such as “Maytown Lotus”, “Mentholatum” and “Kaziran”, there are also “imported” products marked with the language of each country, ranging in price from a few yuan to several hundred yuan.

The staff of a daily necessities store in the city square told reporters that after entering the autumn and winter, the sales of lip balm and moisturizer products are getting better and better. However, in order to be cheap and convenient, many consumers buy two or three yuan of inferior lip products in small stores, which have a certain impact on the body. “If you don’t carefully identify small store goods, you can easily buy fakes. These fakes will not only protect your lips, but will hurt your lips.” The staff pointed out that the lips are in direct contact with the tongue and the lipstick products are extremely Easy to eat, so you must be extra cautious when choosing.

Winners of a cosmetics store sales staff said that a good lip balm will feel moist and clear on the lips, the paste is smooth and no pores, has a certain heat and cold resistance, will not bend and soften. The surface of the poor quality lipstick is not very regular, and there are slight swellings and sweating of the paste. When choosing a lipstick, pay special attention to its packaging and bottom label. Whether it is hardcover or simple, the date on the label, production license number, shelf life, manufacturer, etc. are clearly identifiable. She also suggested buying in a regular big shopping mall. Because of its regular purchase channels, the products have to be tested by commodity inspection and municipal health and epidemic prevention stations, and the quality is reliable.
In a cosmetics store in Yiwu Trade City, the reporter saw that the names of the lipsticks sold are different and the effects are various, such as moisturizing and high-efficiency protection. The taste includes strawberries, grapes, cantaloupes, etc. The price is more than 10 yuan, some of which are products. Not only does it not have a complete outer packaging, but there is no manufacturer, product description, date of manufacture, etc. on the product, which basically belongs to the “three no” products. A staff member told reporters that in addition to personal purchases, many cosmetics stores in the city have come here to get the goods. “Our lipsticks have a good lip and moisturizing effect, and the color of the lip gloss is very natural.” The staff said that because the price of the product is better than similar counters and cosmetics stores, the sales volume is very good, and dozens of products can be sold every day.

Subsequently, the reporter saw in several cosmetics sales counters in the city that the regular brand of lip balm and lip gloss have independent outer packaging, and the package is marked with various information such as active ingredients, site, date of preservation, etc., and sold by Yiwu Trade City. There are significant differences in product quality. At the same time, the prices of similar products sold in supermarkets and counters are significantly higher than ordinary stores, mostly around 20 yuan. In the city square Watson's daily necessities store, the reporter also found an "organic" lip balm. After carefully comparing the product descriptions, the reporter found that the so-called organic lip balm is only the raw material of the product comes from natural substances, and does not contain ingredients such as essence.

The more complex the ingredients, the higher the risk of sensitization

In addition, doctors pointed out that in the selection of low-cost fruit-flavored lip balm, we must carefully choose a variety of fruit-flavored products. Because most of these lipsticks are added with spices, pigments, etc., it is easy to cause allergies to the lips. The doctor also recommends that you choose the function and ingredients as simple as possible when choosing a lipstick. Because the more complex the ingredients, the higher the risk of sensitization. In addition, the use of lipstick should also be controlled. Although the relevant departments of the state have stipulated the limits of toxic substances such as lead and mercury in lipsticks, the content of harmful substances in regular lip products is very small, but long-term use will also accumulate and cause harm to the human body.
