All types of lipstick are harmful to lips and oral cavity. Up to 30 kinds of lipstick have been examined; out of them, one-third contained a grease derived from a poor quality oil. This grease is not harmful for health if put on a skin, but not on lips.

As a matter of fact, tongue very often unintentionally licks lips. When tongue licks lips, all harmful and cancerogenic substances lipsticks absorb from the environment (harmful compounds are the components mostly absorbing in cities) as a foam soaks water, enter mouth and stomach.

This encourages cancer development in digestion organs, lips and oral cavity. It’s a fact that cancer of digestion organs frequently develops in woman’s organism; by frequency rate, digestion organs cancer only follows cancer of breast and reproductive organs. It’s known that lungs and bladder cancer caused by smoking is the most wide-spread oncological illness men have.

Therefore, women are recommended not to use actively lipsticks; if the need arises, use only hygienic lipsticks.

If lips burst open, special creams instead of lipstick are advised to use by applying them on lips. These creams will save lips from harmful impact of the environment; they are not harmful if swallowed.
