When describing a cosmetic product, it is important to include both its physical and chemical properties. For example, a lipstick would be described as a pigmented cosmetic product that is applied to the lips for color, hydration, and protection. Its physical properties might include its texture (creamy, matte, etc.), shade range, and packaging. Its chemical properties would include the ingredients used to make the lipstick, such as emollients, pigments, and waxes.
