Is lip balm made from whale sperm ?

No whale sperm, nor any whale product, is used in the production of lip balms and lip glosses. The fact that lip balms contain whale sperms in just an urban legend. Lip glosses can be made from a number of ingredients, many of which are petroleum-based. In the past, and to a small extent still today, ambergris, a waxy substance found in the intestines of sperm whales, was and is used in the production of certain perfumes.

You can look at the list of ingredients in any lip gloss and you will see what it’s made of. Most of them are made of some kind of oil, maybe lanolin, beeswax and flavors/scents.

What is lip gloss made out of ?

Lip gloss can be made from a number of ingredients. Many are petroleum-based. Some use lanolin, carnauba wax, and other waxes. Many include natural ingredients such as coconut oil or sunflower oil. The only animal products that are used in lip balm that I am aware of come from bees. Beeswax is a common ingredient in natural lip balm.
