Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · What They Put In Lip Gloss Is Banned From Food | Laura DiGirolamo, ESQ · 9 Jun 2026 podcast

Let's look at petroleum, petrolatum, when it's ingested.

Let's look at polybutane or hydrogenated polyisobutane when it's ingested.

You look at it when ingested.

Let's not even talk about the mucosal thing because that's really complicated right now and that's fine.

But like, just talk about ingestion.

If that app were to say, is this safe to eat?

What do you think those ingredients would flag?

Now, I can tell you from scanning some of those clean products and looking at them as a lip safety, and I look at their safety scores, I'm like, how does something with...

copolymer, aplasticite, how does that get a safety rating so high?

Because it's not looking at you're eating your lip product.

So what I would say is I would love to invite the top apps to join the Lip Service Alliance.

We will give you access to the lip model and let's start testing lip safety the right way.

Let's look at ingestion.

How much are you eating?

And let's look at the absorption through lip.

So the FDA was formed in 1938.

Not a history lesson, just an idea of how long ago.

And then you think back in 1938, how many people were wearing makeup.

Okay, so that's when it was started.

That's why in 2022, they started MOCRA as a branch of the FDA for cosmetics, the Modernization of Cosmetic Regulation Act, okay?
