It is now possible to formulate lipsticks with a minimum number of ingredients. By using isostearyl alcohol as the oil phase and the appropriate vicinal glycols as the wax phase, both of which are good bromo solvents, a wide range of plastic properties may be obtained. The necessity of using oxidation inhibitors and couplers for incompatible bromo solvents is avoided. These raw materials are colorless, nearly odorless and tasteless, nontoxic, nonirritating, oxidation‐stable, miscible with waxes, and are good emollients.
