The chemistry behind make-up involves different types of make-up, and the chemicals it makes up to create the color. The skin and why the skin needs moisturizers is an important part of make-up in which we need chemistry majors to help. Let’s start with the skin; there are three main layers in one’s skin that is the epidermis, dermis, and the hypodermis. One’s deepest layer of skin is known as the hypodermis, it contains layers of fat. Next includes the dermis, which your blood vessels, nerves, hair shafts, sweat, and sebaceous glands are located. The outer layer of one’s skin is the epidermis; it contains fatty acids, cholesterol, waxes, and triglycerides. The oily substance caused by the glands is known as the sebum, which with exceeded amount of sebum leads to the oily skin and can cause acne.

The water content varies throughout your skin, the deeper you go the more water percentage your skin shall have, for example, as you go into the dermis, it contains 80% of water. Applying moisturizers to your skin helps create a barrier to help retain more water. Moisturizer is a brand of make-up. Make-up is a brand of cosmetics. Cosmetics are defined as a substance used to put on an external part of your body. There are many different types of cosmetics, which include; emulsifiers, water, pH balances, color, etc. Most cosmetics are water based solubilizes, such as lipsticks, it includes amino acids to protect skin. A “fake tans” main ingredient is dihydrergactone, which gives it the temporary permeant tan color. Cosmetics are chemical compounds used to improve our appearances. Some color chemicals, which are some basic colors are; Black: Fe^3+ [Fe^3+Fe^2] O4, Brown: y-Fe(III) oxide, a-Fe(III) oxide hydroxide, Green: Cr(III) oxide, Red: lithol Rubin Bk, Blue:
