None of it anymore, for three reasons.

Reason 1: there's no whale blubber available to make into cosmetics.

Reason 2: even if there WERE whale blubber available, it would be cheaper to use plant-derived ingredients like jojoba oil, shea butter and cocoa butter.

Reason 3: if whale blubber was available and if it was cheaper than plant oils, no one would use it because the public backlash would be too great.

Whale blubber wasn't used to make lipstick. Spermaceti, which is a fat sperm whales store in a chamber in their heads, is what they use. Fortunately for whales, they can make this exact fat from jojoba plants. The chemical name is "cetyl palmitate." The plant based spermaceti used to have to be called "synthetic spermaceti," but now they can just call it spermaceti.
