Regarding ”Lipstick obsession and red urine”

We were very interested in the article by Mir and Nisar (2018) on lipstick obsession and red urine. A link has been established between the red coloring of a young woman ’s urine and lipstick, which she admits to reapplying around 20 times per day.1 The authors make it clear that this case is unique, and indeed no written trace of any previously published cases like this are to be found in the literature. We know, however, that there is a risk of absorption via in gestion of the ingredients in the lipstick formula.
