When you look at those plastic ingredients, we look to nature and food, and we say, is there anything that we can see in the food industry that kind of behaves the same way that we can borrow from?
And where it's been really hard is to you go to these food ingredient manufacturers and you say, we really love product X. We want to use it in our cosmetics, but it's a different regulatory system.
So now I have to jump through hoops to see if that company can now also get the same ingredient certified to be cosmetic grade.
Because at the end of the day, I'm making a lip product.
It has to be cosmetic grade.
So the innovation for these ingredient companies around the world, and I hope people are listening because this is going to be a huge opportunity for the big ingredient companies of the world, make certified food grade ingredients that can also be cosmetic grade ingredients specifically for lip.
So for example, you go and buy your smoothie.
right your beautiful bright red smoothie chances are the color in that smoothie comes from a beetroot right or red cabbage powder organic beetroot powder in my smoothie there you go and it makes it pink and so in the food regulations in the u.s you can use that beetroot powder no problem to color any natural product so let's say you want to make a a red cookie
And you say, I use organic beetroot as the red colorant.
Completely legal.
This is going to blow your mind.
This is going to blow your mind.
When I discovered this, I thought, this doesn't make any sense.
And this is why the Lip Service Alliance has to roll up its sleeves and start helping the industry to change.
The FDA says that in order to make a cosmetic...
you have to use their pre-approved dyes because they're trying to protect the public.
I get where this is coming from.
It's really, it's a good thing.
The heart's in the right place, right?
But if you want to use a food-derived, food-certified color for color in a cosmetic, it's illegal in the US because it's not a pre-approved on the list of synthetic dyes that they say, here, you can use one of these.
