Lipstick and your hormone balance: this is what you really want to know about make-up and hormone disruptors
Share
Many women are busy eating healthier or trying to lose weight, but forget one important part: what you put on your skin every day, including your lips. Your lips are sensitive, thin and directly connected to your body. That makes lipstick an unexpected but important source of hormonal stress.
Here you can read why regular lipstick can affect your hormone balance, why that effect is greater than you think, and why I choose natural lipstick from BAIMS as a safe alternative.
Hormone imbalance? Watch what's in your makeup
If you suffer from fatigue, difficulty losing weight, PMS, PCOS, mood swings or menopausal symptoms, it may be that your hormones are out of balance. Did you know that you can also come into contact with hormone disrupting substances through daily make-up?
Many lipsticks from well-known brands contain ingredients such as:
• Parabens
• BHT and BHA
• Silicone
• Synthetic fragrances and dyes
• PEGs and microplastics
These substances have been linked in studies to disruption of your estrogen balance, influence on your thyroid and hormonal complaints. And what you put on your lips, you also partly swallow: an average of 1,800 to 3,000 grams of lipstick in your life.
Natural lipstick without hormone disruptors: my choice for BAIMS
As a hormone expert and experienced expert in the field of hormonal imbalance in women, I am critical of products that end up in your body. That is why I have done research into the hormonal impact of lipstick myself. In that research I compared regular lipsticks with a natural variant: BAIMS lipstick.

Hormone-free makeup: more important than you think
If you are struggling with hormonal issues or have trouble losing weight or fatigue, it pays to look beyond nutrition and stress. Products that you use daily, such as lipstick or make-up, can contribute to your hormonal burden.
By choosing natural make-up that is hormone-friendly, you give your body space to find balance. I select all products at LunaVital based on my own research and experience in practice. What I do not trust myself, I do not offer either.
