Question
What are the considerations for making glow-in-the-dark lipstick and nail polish, particularly regarding safety? Is it safe to use luminescent substances in these products, especially in lipstick which might be ingested?
Answer
Hello. I understand you were asking for advice on making glow-in-the-dark lipstick and nail polish. The staff has provided information stating that while glow-in-the-dark nail polish might be possible regarding safety as it doesn't absorb into the skin, glow-in-the-dark lipstick is strongly not recommended due to the danger of ingesting the luminescent substances. Luminescent substances are dangerous and should not touch the skin, especially the lips. I hope this information is helpful.
