When the woman makeup smoke burn facial expert: cosmetics to avoid exposure

Recently, a video of “girl burns her face when dressing up” has spread online. In this video, a woman is sitting in the dressing room while she is applying makeup. Next to a man, she gives her a cigarette, but when the lighter flashes, the flames suddenly reach the woman’s right face. The woman burned. After watching the video, many netizens exclaimed: “Is it really terrible, do cosmetics really have such dangers?” For the readers' questions, the reporter found through experiments that some cosmetics’ “temper” is really hot.

Experimental Materials

Perfume, lotion, face cream, nail polish, lighter, stainless steel spoon

experiment procedure

Perfume Nail Polish met with fire

To verify whether cosmetics are "flammable," the reporter selected several common cosmetics such as perfumes, lotions, facial cleansers, and nail polish to conduct experiments. The reporter took a small amount of cosmetics to light in the spoon and observed its burning effect.

The reporter first smeared the perfume into a stainless steel spoon and slowly approached the lighter. When the lighter had not touched the spoon, a light blue flame of 34 centimeters in height appeared in the spoon. The air was accompanied by a faint scent. No smoke was observed with the naked eye throughout the entire combustion process.

The reporter took another bottle of nail polish and dipped a small amount of nail polish into the spoon with a brush on the bottle cap. As soon as the flames of the lighter touched the spoons, the nail polish rose to a deep yellow flame. When the flames were high, they were about 3 cm. Along with the burning, the top of the flame emits black smoke, and the air is filled with a pungent odor. After the flames went out, the nail polish was burned black.

The reporter also dropped cleansing milk and makeup into spoons and roasted them with lighters. The reaction of these two cosmetics was not so "active." However, when these two kinds of cosmetics are applied to paper, the burning speed is faster than that of paper that is not coated with cosmetics.

Misunderstanding

Cosmetics are not easy to burn without alcohol

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter took this experimental result and conducted a random interview with customers in a shopping mall in Xizhimen. As a result, it was found that people only think that cosmetics such as perfumes and gel water have flammable components. In addition, most people are skeptical about whether other cosmetics are flammable.

“When I smoked my makeup, I burned my face? Is it a bad product?” Some female customers think that it is unimaginable that cosmetics can catch fire. "I use French cosmetics. Friends brought in from abroad will not have this problem."

"There is alcohol in the perfume because alcohol can evaporate." Ms. Sun, a white-collar worker, said that the alcohol in the perfume can smell.

Xiao Zheng, a 19-year-old university student, said that he often uses gel water to set the hair. There is alcohol in the gel, “it should be able to light”.

Ms. Kong, who is keen to do aromatherapy, believes that essential oils do not contain alcohol, so essential oils are not flammable.

Expert advice

Contains flammable components

Cosmetics should avoid exposure

The fire department reminded the general public to keep away from the fire when using cosmetics containing volatile organic solvents. After the makeup is finished, it must wait at least 10 minutes until the organic solvent is fully evaporated and then approach the fire. In addition, when cosmetics containing organic solvents are normally stored, they must not only avoid the fire but also avoid exposure.

Because some cosmetic products containing organic solvents will evaporate quickly when they are exposed to light, if they are volatilized, these cosmetics are in a closed space and may also explode.

Industry Secret

Volatile cosmetics

Most contain flammable components

An industry source told reporters that many cosmetics need to be quick-drying, which must contain substances that allow them to volatilize as quickly as possible. Most of these substances are organic solvents and are extremely flammable. This may be the reason why the video can be "at one go."

According to industry insiders, well-known perfumes are distilled from distilled water, alcohol and spices. However, some spices are insoluble in water, which requires the use of alcohol as a solvent. In addition, alcohol is volatile and can “disperse” the scent. It can be said that the reason why perfumes have a pleasant aroma is that the “flammable ingredients” in them have contributed. In gel water, alcohol acts as a dilution to reduce the viscosity of the gel water.

With the arrival of winter, the weather is dry and cold. Many beautiful women begin to apply various moisturizing cosmetics to their faces. In fact, make-up water, essential oils are also "flammable." It is understood that many make-up waters on the market contain moisturizers as well as low amounts of spices, pigments, surfactants, preservatives and alcohol. Ms. Wang engaged in cosmetics sales, said the reason why the use of alcohol moisturizing water, because alcohol has the role of cleaning and disinfection. "When used, apply moisturizing water on the cotton pad and apply it against the direction of pore growth. This will provide a secondary cleansing and moisturizing effect." In addition, another major category of make-up lotion is in its composition table. Labelled with alcohol, this is one of the reasons for feeling refreshed and refreshed. In addition to alcohol, lotions also contain propylene glycol, which is also a combustible material.

What needs special attention is that although many essential oils claim to be “distillation process manufacturing” and “non-alcoholic”, the essential oils are composed of aldehydes, esters, alcohols and other chemical molecules, and the essential oils are flammable, easily oxidized, and evaporate quickly. When using essential oils, keep away from hot air and high temperatures. Do not use them too close to electrical appliances. After use, you must tighten the lid and keep it away from fire, high temperature, and direct sunlight.
