Liquid Bandage as lipstick sealant??

[Pora Park]

Has anybody considered trying the newer "Liquid Bandage" products as a
sealant over lipstick? I was putting some on my kid's boo-boo today
and was struck by how well it did not rub off. Tried some on my bare
lips and of course it was as dry and wrinkly as conventional sealants.
But I'm looking for one that truly stays on all day, not flake off.
(Tried many products and had best luck with Lip Chic, but if I'm going
to have that wrinkly look anyway it may as well really *work*!) It
came off okay with eye makeup remover, further intriguing me. By the
way, the Bandaid brand liquid bandage had a shiny finish so probably
wouldn't dull the shine. Chime in if you've already tried this out!!

I haven't tried it, but from experience, Liquid Bandage can stay on for
days, up to a week sometimes. I probably wouldn't try it.

Liquid Bandaid has an antibiotic--or maybe it's a painkiller--on it, IIRC. I'm
not sure I'd want unnecessary chemicals on/in my lips.

Yeah considering my husband and his Marines used this stuff on knuckles,
knees, elbows, etc..in Iraq, and it worked *really* well they said, I
wouldn't want it on my lips.

I wasn't able to find any MSDS for either Dermabond (the high-strength
version used by doctors) or Liquid Bandage, but I did find one for
Indermil (a similar high-strength medical adhesive).

It mentioned that it would bond to oral tissues, but saliva takes it
off in 0.5 to 2.0 days.

Mineral oil (which is safe enough) will clobber Liquid Bandage in
about a minute.

It has a painkilling effect because it seals off the surface nerve
endings.

No antibiotic that I could find... and they'd undoubtedly be sure to
document that as allergic tendencies tend to be rather strong.

In that case, don't ask what's in a lippie. <grin/duck>

Ok, I've got a bottle of SkinShield right here. Says dyclonine
hydrochloride and benzethonium hydrochloride are the active ingredients.
I don't think I would want to even try it as a lipstick sealer, and
certainly not regularly.

I think it's probably best I don't know, kind of like it's best you
don't know what's in the hash at the casino breakfast buffet. :)

I think that it has super glue in it, which has a (safe) cyanide-based
polymer as a base ingredient. Still, I don't think I'd want to use it.

2-octyl cyanoacrylate (Band-Aid Liquid Bandage, Ethicon Dermabond) is
a chemical cousin of 2-methyl cyanoacrylate (classic "super glue").

Neither has the the CN radical of cyanide.

In the cyanoacrylates the nitrogen is attached to the main chain as
nitrogen dioxide.

I suspect it would be too good.
