Essence Soft & Precise Lip Pencil

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Essence pH10 Essence Soft & Precise Lip Pencil scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Essence pH10 Essence Soft & Precise Lip Pencil lists 13 ingredients, starting with C10-18 Triglycerides, Mica, Talc, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Essence pH10 Essence Soft & Precise Lip Pencil scores worse than most lipstick & lip color we have scored. A higher-scoring option in lipstick & lip color is Henné Organics Luxury Lip Tint Nightfall at 90/100.
