Looking for the best non toxic lipstick in your perfect shade? Packed full of pigment but without the harmful ingredients, these clean lipsticks are the safest in the cosmetics space while also being moisturizing for your lips.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think about the ingredients in my lipstick more than the ingredients in my other makeup. There’s something about it being on my mouth and thinking about physically ingesting the product… am I alone in this? I also feel naked without a lip product on. This can lead to quite a conundrum!

Luckily in the past few years, clean beauty has STEPPED IT UP in the non-toxic lipstick department. For the longest time it was just ILIA killing the game but now there are so many new options out there that are giving conventional lipstick a run for its money. So as the final clean beauty 5×5 I am reviewing the best non-toxic and natural lipsticks and lip products on the market that you won’t regret buying.

What to look out for in lipstick

While lead is maybe the most known ingredient to avoid in lipstick, there are actually a variety of heavy metals you should steer clear from in lipsticks.

The beauty industry doesn’t seem to be concerned with these heavy metals because of how small the application area is but there has been no safe level identified of exposure to heavy metal and repeated exposure can be really harmful. (Source)

Other ingredients to look out for include parabens, petroleum, dyes and synthetic fragrances (if you’re sensitive to it).
