A similar thing would happen with insoluble pigments. While it would depend on the particular colorant, typically if a dye was soluble in the harder, higher melting point wax, it will be soluble in the softer, lower melting temp wax/oil. (This also explains the chunky rainbow diapers that parents may have experienced after their kid had a couple of crayon appetizers.) Now, if you were to say, mix the crayon with a wax or oil with a lower melting point to make it spreadable, all bets are off when it comes to ingestion. This means that any pigment/dye or additive in the crayon is not really able to make it out of the crayon and be absorbed in Timmy’s little crayon eating body. The wax that is typically used in crayons, paraffin wax, has a higher melting temperature (between 115 and 154 Fahrenheit) than body temperature and crayons aren’t really soluble in acid. What happens to the crayon? Not a lot, actually. There it is subjected to heat (from his body) and stomach acid. Which brings me to…Ģ.) What happens when a kid eats a crayon and how is that different than turning a crayon into lipstick? When little Timmy is left unattended and eats part (or all) of a crayon, it enters his stomach. The larger the amount that can be consumed, or the less available the compound in question in the product that is being consumed is, the less toxic the material. Toxicity therefore depends on the amount of the chemical/compounds/whatever that can interact with you to cause harm. However, have you ever heard the phrase “the dose makes the poison”? Many chemicals/compounds/materials are fine in small doses, but toxic/harmful in larger doses. Non-toxic typically means not toxic or is not capable of causing harm to human health. One of the most common justifications for why people think this is ok is “They are non-toxic! They were made so a kid could eat the whole box and be fine!” Here is why that is not a good enough reason to use art supplies as makeup.ġ.) The term non-toxic is sort of misleading. One that has been around for a while and has made a resurgence in various places (here, youtube, other makeup forums) is the DIY lipsticks made using crayons. “Every once in a while, I see a post/tutorial/diy that makes me cringe. This is some info I found on a forum discussing the use of crayons as lipstick:
