Shark liver
Squalene can be found in almost most shadows (perhaps even in these). This ingredient is necessary for the shadows to lay flat and not crumble during the day, it acts as a binder for all other parts of the composition. It is noteworthy that squalene is obtained from shark liver or, less often, from vegetable oils.
Fish scales
Guanine is a crystalline material derived from fish scales that is found in almost all shadows. It is used to give cosmetics a shimmery white color. It can also be found in personal care products, perfumes, hair conditioners, nail polishes, shampoos, and skin care products.
Lamb fat
Ever noticed the words "fat" or "oils" on the labels? So you know that under these words is hidden not some viscous unknown substance, but a substance obtained from the adipose tissue of sheep or cattle.
Petroleum oils
These oils are derived from petroleum refining and are found in laxatives, baking dishes and (unexpectedly) eyeshadows. Some researchers argue that petroleum oils are extremely harmful to the human body, while others, on the contrary, are confident, if not in their benefits, then in any case there is no harm when used in small quantities. In any case, this issue has not been fully studied. However, you should not be afraid to use shadows yet (there are things in our life that are much more dangerous) - the content of oil oils in them is extremely small.
Talc
There seems to be nothing special about talcum powder to hold your attention. He has entered our life so much that we do not think at all about his harm. But in vain. Many mines where talc minerals are mined are toxic, which is why some researchers tend to believe that talc is not so harmless to humans.
