The present invention relates to lipstick compositions which comprise wax, emollient and a gelling agent wherein the inclusion of the gelling agent facilitates the retention of emollient oils particularly under high humidity and temperatures. Lipsticks of the present invention contain moisturizers which may be delivered to the lips in a non-polar/lipophilic medium in a thermodynamically stable way by using associated structures. A method of making the lipstick is also disclosed.
