The Girlcult Matte Lipstick contains a mix of silicones, waxes, pigments, and various conditioning agents to create a long-wearing, velvety matte finish.
Base & Texture:
Dimethicone / Silicones (Dimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, etc.) : Provide a smooth, slip-like texture and help fill in lip lines for an even application.
Waxes (Microcrystalline Wax, Synthetic Wax): Give structure and hold to the lipstick, ensuring it stays in place.
Volatile Solvents (Isododecane, Isohexadecane):Evaporate after application, leaving behind a lightweight, non-sticky matte film.
Mattifying & Oil-Absorbing Agents:
Kaolin, Silica, Calcium Carbonate, Barium Sulfate: Absorb excess oils, enhancing the matteffect and reducing shine.
Dicalcium Phosphate, Aluminum Hydroxide: Add opacity and improve adhesion to lips.
Pigments & Colorants:
CI 77491/77492/77499 (Iron Oxides - red/black/brown tones)
CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide - white base/opacity)
CI 15850 (Red 7 Lake), CI 15985 (Yellow 6 Lake), CI 17200 (Red 33 Lake), etc.: Provide vibrant, long-lasting color.
Emollients & Conditioning Agents:
Hydrogenated Polydecene, Diisostearyl Malate, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate: Lightweight moisturizers that prevent excessive drying.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: A nourishing fatty acid derivative from coconut oil.
Special Additives:
GANODERMA LUCIDUM (Reishi Mushroom) Extract & Cordyceps Sinensis Extract: Claimed to have antioxidant/soothing benefits (though likely in minimal amounts).
Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate: A humectant to help retain moisture.
Preservatives & Stabilizers:
Caprylyl Glycol, Glyceryl Caprylate (mild preservatives)
Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) (antioxidant to prevent rancidity)
Fragrance & Potential Sensitivities:
Contains "(Daily Use) Fragrance", which could be a concern for sensitive lips.
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite (a shimmer-enhancing mineral, though this is a matte formula, so likely minimal).
This is a highly silicone-based, long-wearing matte lipstick with oil-absorbing powders to ensure a velvety finish. The inclusion of some hydrating ingredients (like hyaluronate and plant extracts) help mitigate dryness, but matte formulas like this can still be drying over time. Thus you need consider make the proper lip moisturizing.
If you have sensitive lips, watch for the fragrance and potential alcohol-like solvents (Isododecane). Overall, it’s a modern, pigment-rich matte formula with some skincare-inspired additions.
