Make-up, nail polish and lipstick are all made, at least partly, from oil. They are mixtures of such compounds as oils, waxes, perfumes, and colors, many of which can be made from petrochemicals. Nail polishes, for instance, are mixtures of pigments, solids, and solvents. The pigments give the polish its color, and the solids form the film that sticks to the nail and provides gloss and flexibility. Hair dye is also created using petroleum products. |
