@cultureapothecary: Do you use clean makeup brands? Laura DiGirolamo, is a beauty attorney, industry insider, and founder of YOM Beauty, and she's blowing the whistle on one of the biggest blind spots in modern beauty. We're talking flavored balms, vanilla frosting lip masks, tinted glosses — products literally designed for your mouth, treated like they never enter your body at all. She breaks down what's actually in them, why the science is scarier than anyone wants to admit, and what industry insiders already know but won't say out loud.

Manessa Lo | 👩🏾‍🔬💄✈️ :

Cosmetic chemist here . . . Titanium Dioxide is not a microplastic. It’s a mineral compound found in nature and used for pigment (colorations) purposes in lip products . . . .

Traci Burgess :

Formless Beauty doesn't use titanium dioxide

Jennifer :

Can we normalize giving us options that are safe

Mimi Wilder :

Aesop lip gloss yall!!!! its so good

Witten_4life :

My husband used to work for a company that sold self cleaning touch surfaces. Used on elevator buttons, handrails, door handles etc. The EPA shut down the company bc titanium dioxide was an ingredient. However the level of TO that was used was less than what was found in gum and skittles. Yet gum and skittles still remain on the shelves. Make it make sense

MamaZ RN | Wellness Simplified :

But not mentioning safe brands…thanks.

Allison Foster :

But titanium dioxide isn’t a microplastic… it’s an inorganic mineral. Let’s normalize at least being scientifically accurate.

laineemcintyre :

Let's go back to coloring our lips with beat juice and tumeric like the olden days 🥲

Jamie Aubin17 :

If you eat Oreos or skittles your eating titanium dioxide powder coffee creamers also have it. There lots of our food that has it so I’m like why are we just talking about lip products?

angie_muresan :

Excuse me, but aren’t they both wearing lipstick?

TM :

I use Vaseline

breonna621 :

Bro IM TIRED.

Amy Awosina :

When does it become that Human LIVES are more Valuable than MONEY???!! Let’s start THERE. Then the morality of selling these types of products would change. But until Human Life is valued MORE than material things this WILL continue!

Moon Dragon :

I’m so sick of this ! No one is held accountable

Seventhia Johnston GOAL CHASER :

GREAT WE CANT HAVE ANYTHING NICE.

Eric Parker Tv :

So what do I use??

Molly :

All this, and she couldn't answer the question and name a brand.

Grisel Dore :

I need better options list

Obc7 :

This was not helpful at all!!! she didn’t give any alternatives

mal :

I used to wear lipstick and lip gloss all the time in my teens and 20s. Nowadays if I wear some for just a few hours, my lips get dry and cracked. I’m not sure if microplastics is anything new but it makes you wonder how the formula changed over the years.

Z E O N A :

Rhode lips has titanium dioxide 😭

Hailey |Home & Lifestyle| :

Titanium Dioxide is in almost all tooth pastes-even the “safe natural” ones
