“…has not yet been convincingly documented. Other examples of possible culprit 'lipid' allergens in cases of allergic contact cheilitis include ricinus communis seed oil (castor oil) 7 and lanolin, 3 both negative in our patient, as well as Copernicia cerifera (Carnauba wax), 8 which, although present in one of the lip balms, could not be tested. Colophonium derivatives may equally be present in some lip cosmetics, 9 although these were not identified in products used by our patient.…”

“…Another ingredient, i.e., Copernicia cerifera cera, is wax extracted from leaves and buds of the Brazilian palm Copernicia prunifera . This substance is considered hypoallergenic, although allergic contact dermatitis has been reported in the literature [ 30 ]. In turn, the cera alba beeswax forms an occlusive layer on the surface of the skin or mites, preventing excessive evaporation of water.…”

Purpose The aim of the study was to examine Demodex survival in makeup cosmetics, i.e., powder cream, mascara, and lipstick, and to determine whether cosmetics shared with others can be a source of D. folliculorum infection. Methods Live D. folliculorum adults were placed in cosmetic samples and their motility was observed under a microscope. The mites were fully or partially immersed in the powder cream and lipstick, and only partially immersed in the mascara. Partial immersion means that only the opisthosoma was covered by the cosmetic, whereas the gnathosoma and podosoma had no contact with the cosmetic. Cessation of motility was regarded as a sign of death. Results In the control (mites placed on a microscope slide with no cosmetics), the survival time was 41.2 h. D. folliculorum that were immersed fully or partially in the lipstick substrate were viable for 38.5 h and 148 h, respectively. The survival time of the mites at full and partial immersion in the powder cream was 0.78 h and 2.16 h, respectively. The average survival time in the mascara was 21 h. Conclusions Makeup cosmetics used by different individuals at short intervals (from several hours to several days) can be a source of transmission of Demodex sp. mites.

“…They consist of a blend of waxes and mineral oils, most often supplemented with ultraviolet filters, flavours, preservatives, and antioxidants. Contact allergens responsible for allergic contact dermatitis caused by lip balms include esters, such as isopalmityl diglyceryl sebacate, glyceryl isostearate, diisostearyl malate, and ditrimethylolpropane triethylhexanoate, dipentaerythritol fatty acid ester, ceresin wax, carauba wax, cera alba, colophonium (rosin), castor oil, gallates used as antioxidants, propolis, peppermint oil, menthoxypropanediol, citral, vanillin, bisabolol, polyvinylpyrrolidone/hexadecene, benzophenone‐3, and D & C Yellow 11 …”
