Question:

NYX lipgloss is magnetic?

alright so today in class my friend was showing me her new NYX lipgloss and how it did this strange thing when she opened it. If she pulled the applicator out of the lipgloss bottle quickly, the excess lipgloss would go flying (even horizontally or defying gravity) back into the bottle. i have a macbook air with a magnetic charging port so i tried bringing the applicator towards it and the lipgloss went flying towards the laptop. its really weird so i was wondering if its normal? i mean in the materials it says theres titanium oxide and iron oxide, but is it safe?

Answer:

Iron oxide is in most of your makeup, it's one of the most commonly used micas. If you use eyeliner and mascara or basically anything black or dark, you're smearing iron oxide on your face.
It's the iron.Iron is a naturally occurring minerals found in soil, food, liquids including water and more, including one surprising place. Iron is highly attracted to magnets and some iron is naturally magnetic straight from the earth. Yes, it's safe. Your body contains iron in your blood -the surprising place. Iron makes tour blood red and vitamin pills contain iron. If a lip gloss was unsafe it would be taken off the shelves by the FDA And other consumer protection agencies. titanium and iron are both minerals found in nature. Titanium oxide is a safe and effective chemical free mineral based sunscreen and found in many all natural make up and skin care products made for sensitive skin. Both these naturally occurring minerals are safe when in lip gloss. the entire planet earth is a giant magnet. Some scientists believe the core of the earth's core is made entire if molten magnetic iron. So there's nothing more natural than Iron! SCIENCE! It works! And it's always the best explanation for everything.
