In reply to Lydia. Please let us know if you find a lipstick without limonene, linalool and no fragrance. I also have the dermatitis issue on my lips due to ingredients in lipsticks etc. I love lipstick and this allergy really sucks :(

Thank you for sharing! Can you share what the color name is of the Strike Twice Lip Duo you had on in the video?

Hi, the liquid matte credo has synthetic fragrance. I’m not sure if by the time you wrote the article they changed the formula or you weren’t aware. But yeah, I came for liquid Mayte finish and sadly it has fragrance/parfum which is a major no for me since it hides under that name around 3k chemicals (most likely toxic) that companies are not required to label.

Hi there. I was super excited to discover your site and, in particular, this article on lipsticks as for the past two years I’ve been suffering from extreme dermatitis of the lips due to an allergy to limonene and linalool. It took me over 18 months to identify the allergy through extensive testing. These natural citrus oil derivatives are in pretty much everything we use daily: home cleaners, paint solvents, air fresheners, cosmetics, soaps, toothpaste, deodorants and fragrances. Until two years ago, I had never had a reaction. But now, if I come into contact with any product with these irritants, my lips swell up, become severely chapped, tight and burning. This can last for weeks and is very painful.

I wanted everyone reading this article to know that ONLY ONE of the non-toxic lip products listed here is free of these two known skin irritants (#3 – PYT Friends With Benefits Lip Duo) – THAT’S how prevalent they are in cosmetics. Limonene and linalool hide in pretty much everything – and under alternative names too – and yes, even in “healthy, non-toxic” lip balms that I’ve purchased from health food stores.

So, all this to say, “non-toxic” does not mean “non-irritating”. It’s really important that we do our research if we have any sensitivities. I’m still learning about mine – and still on the hunt for lipstick, lip balm and lip gloss that are free of these irritants. I have hope that one day I will find one… (well, today I guess I actually did! Thank you!) And in the meantime, while the search continues, I am very grateful that sites like this exist, which provide full disclosure on all ingredients. So very important is this time of chemical overload.

I’ve literally never been able to wear makeup because I’m allergic to everything I’ve just found your site and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that you’ve done so much research and have tested all of this because it’s giving me hope because so far I’ve had to use beeswax and food coloring to make lip balm for myself if I’ve ever wanted to even remotely try to make assemblance of any kind of makeup and that only lasts so long and it kind of gets on your teeth after a while because of body heat it’s high maintenance lol
