Lipstick is a cosmetic product made up of pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients that is applied to the lips to provide colour, moisture, and protection. Lipstick is the least expensive and most popular cosmetic in the world, with 21% of women wearing it on a daily basis and 78% wearing it on special occasions.

The global lipstick market is being driven by rising health consciousness among women all over the world, which is expected to increase demand for organic cosmetics. Companies all over the world are focusing on developing organic lipsticks in response to rising demand for organic cosmetics. For example, in October 2017, Nykaa released Organistick Lipstic, an organic lipstick containing natural ingredients such as shea butter, argan oil, and jojoba oil.

The ingredients in lipstick include wax, oils, antioxidants, and emollients. Lipstick is made of wax, which gives it its structure. Some waxes used to make lipsticks include beeswax, ozokerite, and candelilla wax. A key ingredient in lipstick, carnauba wax has a high melting point and is key to its strength. Lipsticks are made from different oils and fats, such as olive oil, mineral oil, cocoa butter, lanolin, and petrolatum.

Pigments and lake dyes provided the lipsticks with their different colors, including, but not limited to, bromo acid, D&C Red No. 21, Calcium Lake such as D&C Red 7 and D&C Red 34, and D&C Orange No. 17. Titanium dioxide is mixed with a red pigment to make pink lipstick. Organic and inorganic pigments are used.Matte lipsticks have more filling agents, such as silica, but fewer emollients. Waxes are more abundant in creme lipsticks than oils. Sheer and long lasting lipsticks have more oil in them, and long lasting lipsticks also have silicone oil in them, which seals the colours to the wearer's lips. Glossy lipstick contains more oil to give the lips a shiny finish.

                                                                                                         Label-Free Array Systems Label-free array systems are widely used in the drug discovery process by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. A system works on principle of optical interferometry, impedance-based assays, and refractive index to identify and validate new molecules as the possible drug candidates. Moreover, the system helps to reduce the cost and time for drug identification and validation process. In the past few years, label-free array systems have taken center stage as an effective research tool in all major clinical drug discovery processes. Label-free array systems comprises two types of biosensors, n...

Intraocular Lens; a Lens Implanted In the Eye as Part of a Treatment for Cataracts

Image
                                    Intraocular Lens An intraocular lens (or IOL) is a tiny, artificial lens that replaces the natural lens of the eye through cataract surgery to restore both near and distant vision. To treat cataracts, the cloudy lens is surgically removed and replaced with an IOL to restore vision (both near and distant). A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. For people who have cataracts, looking through a cloudy lens is like looking through a frosty or foggy window. Cataracts occur as a natural part of the aging and are the leading cause of blindness in people over 60. According to the National Eye Institute, the number of people in the United States with cataract is expected to double from 24.4 million to about 50 million by 2050. Thus, with the increasing prevalence of cataract and growing geriatric population worldwide, the demand for intraocular l...

They are supported by surrounding hard and soft tissues. Most conventional designs are removable, however, there are some that are fixed to the mouth with dental implants. In most cases, dentures are the best option if the patient has several missing teeth, or is in need of a quick and convenient way to replace all of them. In the process of making dentures , the dentist uses an initial impression to create a model of a patient’s mouth, which is later used to f...
