7 Nontoxic Drugstore Lipsticks to Add to Your Stash

At what point does a lipstick collection become a problem? I say never. I keep a strong rotation of lipstick options in my purse so I can brighten and change my look throughout a given day. It’s a simple pick-me-up.

Because there are nontoxic lipsticks hiding at your local drugstore (or on Amazon), you can experiment with different lip looks without spending too much money. As with any drugstore makeup, it’s best to check the ingredients for each specific product, since one line can have both safe and potentially-harmful products. The lipstick options below all get a low-hazard rating in EWG’s Skin Deep database. Mwah!
