The main components of lipsticks are:
Correct answer: A. Mixture of low-volatile oil and wax
- A. Mixture of low-volatile oil and wax
- B. Mixture of volatile oil and wax
- C. Fats and wax
- D. Fats and oil
Explanation
The main components of lipsticks are a mixture of low-volatile oils and wax. Low-volatile oils are chosen because they do not evaporate quickly, providing lasting moisture and sheen. Wax is essential for giving the lipstick its solid form and ensuring it maintains its shape and stability when applied. The other options are incorrect because they either include volatile oils, which are not suitable for long-lasting application, or they rely on fats, which do not provide the same structural benefits as wax.
