For example a common ingredient found on lip gloss is Polybutene,which is a polymer, or in other words a plastic. It is generally a good practise to avoid swallowing plastic. This compound can also irritate and damage skin. That is why you need to use a healing and hydrating mask like this Ultra-hydrating Lip Mask on your lips.

Apply a generous layer of the mask on our lips and leave for at least twenty minutes, then gently rub the mask into your lips for 1 minute and wash off with warm water. Finish with a splash of cold water and your favourite lip balm.
