Does the popular Blistex blue lip balm really contain phenol and fluorescent agent?

Does the popular Blistex blue lip balm really contain phenol and fluorescent agent?

When it comes to lip mask,

The best product on the list that can compete with Laneige is the "Blistex Blue Lip Tin".

How useful is it?

A small can, three effects in one,

Apply lip mask at night to moisturize and repair, wash with clean water in the morning, rub gently, and all the dead skin will fall off;

Daytime lip balm, long-lasting moisturizing, refreshing and soothing, allowing lips to restore their natural moisture balance;

When used as a lipstick base, it can refine lip lines, prevent lipstick from drying out, and provide even color and beautiful lip color;

Hence the name "lip iron"!

7g per can, not big, but if you really use it, it seems like it will last forever.

The mouth has a refreshing minty taste, which is not irritating but very comfortable.

People who don't like mint may feel uncomfortable at first, but its moisturizing effect will make you ignore this.

If you like mint flavor, it will be your favorite desert lip savior!

Such a good thing, so easy to use, plus super cost-effective, it is natural that it is popular.

Since 1985, tens of millions of people in more than 80 countries and regions around the world have included it in their "good to use lists".

From students to white-collar workers, everyone has a can of "lip iron" in their hands.

Zhang Jianing, Angela Chang, Hani Kezi recommended it for their own use,

For many years, it has been the top lip care brand in Canada and the United States!

However, recently, there is news that Blistex blue lip balm contains carcinogenic ingredients and fluorescent agents!

One stone stirs up a thousand waves,

For a time, rumors were rife that the blue cans caused cancer, that the ingredients in the blue cans were unsafe, that the blue cans caused infertility, etc.

I can understand that, after all, "the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism"!

But, what is the truth?

Let's talk about "carcinogenic ingredients" first. The so-called carcinogenic ingredient "phenol" mentioned by the public,

It should be emphasized that the international version of the little blue can is completely phenol-free, which is the version currently circulating in China. It looks like this:

Third-party test report

P06010

P08011

Let's take a look at the ingredient list. From beginning to end, there is no phenol.

Attached is a statement from the brand to refute the rumor

The ones that contain phenol are actually the American version of the little blue can, and they clearly mark it as such, and they will never fool consumers;

A closer look reveals that the added amount is very low, only 0.54%, which meets the US FDA standards;

That is, the amount that is not harmful to the body at all;

Moreover, the American version is a medicated lip balm that can be used to treat lip ulcers, blisters, and mild angular cheilitis;

The instructions specifically emphasize that it should not be used more than 4 times a day. There is no problem using it within this safe range.

If you really mind it and can't get over it, just choose the international version!

I would like to mention here in particular that on the evening of April 1st, in Wei Ya’s live broadcast room, in front of more than 4 million viewers, the Blistex Blue Lip Can (International Edition) was finally vindicated, with a close-up of the test report showing 0 “phenol” content. After that, the post went viral on Weibo, with 2.75 million views, speaking out to debunk the rumors about the little blue can. The little blue can, which had been deeply wronged, was finally "vindicated."

In addition to phenol, there are also reports that the small blue can contains fluorescent agent.

Before we start, let's make it clear that "fluorescence reaction is not equal to fluorescent agent".

Some active ingredients in cosmetics may have fluorescent reactions, such as vitamins and salicylic acid that we are familiar with.

Blistex blue jar contains beeswax that can speed up exfoliation and blood circulation.

Under long-wave irradiation, a slightly blue-white fluorescence will appear. This is a fluorescent reaction, not the addition of fluorescent agents.

This article is intended to correct the name of the little blue can.

The little blue can you love is worthy of your love, and the rumor that its ingredients are unsafe is a false rumor.

Cancer-causing, infertility-inducing, fluorescent agent... all of these are false news.

Everyone, use it and stock up. With such cost-effectiveness and the effect of use, you will earn money if you use it!

Of course, there is a big premise for the above rumor-busting, that is, the Blistex blue jar in your hand must be authentic! Just like what Wei Ya said in the live broadcast room, you must identify the official and officially authorized stores, and distinguish whether you purchased the American version or the international version.

How to determine the genuine version?

There are two methods, let’s take a look!

1. Genuine Blistex blue jars are all affixed with anti-counterfeiting codes. Scratch off the anti-counterfeiting code coating on the product, scan the QR code, follow the [Hong Kong Aipo] WeChat public platform, and in the menu bar "Anti-counterfeiting Query → Select the brand you want to query", scan it to check and verify whether it is authentic.

2. Or click [About Us] to enter the "Blistex Official Website", click anti-counterfeiting query, scratch the anti-counterfeiting code layer first, and enter the anti-counterfeiting code for query. The steps on the official website are very specific, just follow them.
