The historical development and composition of Lip Gloss

Lip Gloss was invented by Max Factor in 1930. He wants to develop a lip product that can make the lips of the film bright and shiny. Inspired by movie actresses, women began to follow this makeup trend, leading to the popularity of lip gloss.
The earliest commercially available Lip Gloss was Max Factor's X-Rated4 launched in 1932. The original formula was sold until 2003.

Lip Gloss is similar to lipstick. Lip gloss is a mixture of waxes, oils, esters and pigments.
The difference between lip gloss and lipstick products is the bright, transparent, or translucent cover layer. Generally, the ratio of oil component/wax component is relatively high, and the pigment content is relatively low (0~5%).
