Could be also CARMINE? From here:
"Beeswax-derived from the honeycomb of bees, this ingredient is safe.
Candelilla wax-obtained from the candelilla plant and used in lipsticks for body. Non-toxic.
Carmine-derived from the shell of the female cochineal insect (beetle). Used to produce a red coloring. Can cause allergic reactions.
FD & C colorings-derived from coal tar (petroleum). Some colors are believed to be carcinogenic.
Iron Oxides-iron combined with oxygen used for colorings. Non-toxic.
“Lakes” colors- derived from aluminum, barium potassium, strontium. Not safe.
Lanolin-a product from the oil glands of sheep. Can cause allergic reactions, and can be harmful to ingest if full of pesticide residue.
Petrolatum-derived from petroleum, this ingredient can cause allergic reactions and ironically can actually dry out the lips, requiring the user to apply even more lipstick."I love this forum and thank everybody who contributes to it!0 -

I thought it was Cleopatra who used Carmine for red colouring, didn't think they used beetles anymore - must check my lipsticks more closely in future!
