Abstract A 28-year-old woman presented with a several year history of persistent itchy and scaly erythema on the lips, which appeared after using five different kinds of lipsticks, A–E. Because we suspected contact dermatitis to ingredients of these lipsticks, we patch tested her with the lipsticks A–E (as is) and the ingredients of lipsticks D and E provided by the manufacturers. The patient showed positive reactions to all lipsticks and oleyl alcohol (10% pet.), diisostearyl maleate (40% pet.), glyceryl isostearate (1% pet.), and Lithol Rubine BCA (Pigment Red 57, Red 202; CAS 5281-04-91) (1% pet.) (Table 1). These concentrations were the same as those in lipsticks D and E. Three normal controls showed negative reactions to these ingredients. Our patient stopped using these lipsticks, now only occasionally using lip cream free from these allergens and she is now symptom free.
