These lip products encompass customised formulations using cosmeceutical active ingredients.

Custom Lipstick with the LipSerum Stick™
“It’s not just a custom lipstick, it’s also a cosmeceutical anti-ageing lip serum — we design it with a unique chemistry for beautiful colours and textures with our trade secret Pi π-Effect, that’s why we call it the LipSerum Stick™,” dermatologist Dr. Teo Wan Lin. The Dr.TWL Custom Lip Lab is a dermatologist-developed cosmeceutical custom lipstick laboratory, that allows you to customise your dream lipstick/gloss, to any shade and finish you can imagine! Follow us for to be the pre-launch VIPs to try the #Bespoke LipSerum Stick™ Experience.
The first in its lip treatment cosmeceutical series is Dr.TWL’s Signature LipSerum Stick™.
The cosmeceutical base of this custom lipstick was developed by the Dr.TWL Team comprising a dermatologist, chemist and a pharmaceutical engineer. In addition, the cosmeceutical base features a combination of cosmeceutical anti-ageing active ingredients incorporated in an preservative free, natural antioxidant formula with pure edible plant waxes which undergo stringent pharmaceutical purification to remove traces of any chemicals or pesticides. Consequently, this results in custom lipsticks which are not only very safe to use but are in fact edible.

Is your custom lipstick safe?
“The average woman ingests about six tonnes of lipstick in her lifetime. I see patients who develop sensitivities and allergies to lip products, due to the chemical ingredients present in those formulas. As a dermatologist, I often review the ingredients of lipsticks on request of beauty magazines for their beauty awards… the average ingredient list contains vague titles like “fragrance” which could encompass plasticisers like phthalates. These are endocrine disrupters. Consequently, they have the potential to disrupt the hormone regulation system. Because of large-scale manufacturing practices, color additives may contaminate with lead. Lead is a harmful neurotoxin when we ingest in sufficient amounts,” accredited dermatologist Dr. Teo Wan Lin, Founder of the Dr. TWL Custom Lip Lab.
About a decade ago, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics found lead in over half of the 33 brands of lipstick they tested. An FDA study also tested popular brands and found 400 brands that contained up to 7.19ppm of lead. Contamination of color additives is the commonest mechanism that lead finds its way into lipsticks.
The current FDA or HSA (Health Sciences Authority, Singapore) legislations do not require cosmetics companies to conduct safety assessments on makeup, although illegal ingredients under the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive are not permissible in cosmetic formulations. However, potentially harmful levels of contaminants such as lead currently do not have any rules around them.

Dermatologist-Formulated Cosmeceutical Custom Lipstick for Lip Treatment
The LipSerum Stick™ is a 100% edible custom lipstick formula we derive from natural ingredients and is suitable for those with lip eczema, or sensitive lips. In addition, the base ingredients include Phytoceramides, a ceramide formula derived from plant seed oils to provide all-day hydration. Also, infused in your lipstick is DNALIP™ our signature ingredient from purified Salmon Roe DNA, for its anti-wrinkle and regenerative effects.
Clean Beauty-Chemical Preservative, Paraben, Lead Free Makeup
“In traditional lipsticks, lead is a common contaminant because of the process of manufacturing. Furthermore, any detectable lead levels in lipsticks is considered undesirable. This is because it is a neurotoxin with links to miscarriage, lower fertility, amidst a host of other potential health problems,” Dr. Teo Wan Lin.
The cosmeceutical lipstick is 100% chemical preservative, lead and paraben free. Our makeup laboratory uses only 100% pure mineral colorants, approved and certified by the FDA for sensitive areas such as the eyes and lips. In addition, where there are requests for flavours, we use only 100% food safe essences in our lipsticks.
The cosmeceutical base pharmaceutically-engineered by the Dr.TWL Scientific Team is chemically stable, preservative-free due to its balance of ingredients, combined with Vitamin E as a natural anti-oxidant. As a result, we are able to engineer our Custom Lipstick to be safe and to confer anti-aging benefits on the basis of this ideal cosmeceutical base.
Lip Treatment Serum with Intense Pigment Payoff
The custom lipstick is compounded from our signature DNALIP™ lip base. This is using proprietary technology in a EUROISO22716 accredited pharmaceutical facility. Also, our pharmaceutical engineering team developed the unique solid state DNALIP™ lipstick base. The lip base remains as a stable solid at room temperature but melts into a serum upon contact with lips.
Long-Lasting, No Lip Wrinkles
In the development of the LipSerum Stick™, our research data concluded lipstick features that were important to women were: texture (smoothness, natural feeling, comfort), how long-lasting the lipstick was, absence of lip wrinkles or lines. As a result of the study, the Pi-Effect came into fruition. Furthermore, it is a formula developed by our Color Science Team to incorporate all these features in a high-quality pigment, natural-looking and long-lasting no-crease custom lipstick.
