. If I remember correctly, cholesterol is there to strengthen the outer cell surface of skin cells ( in your upper epidermis ) , so that water stays locked into cells. A lot of other moisturizers and brands use the same ingredient

lol Cholesterol is actually good for your skin on the outside, but not good for you internally. A lot of skincare products have cholesterol in them. Some primers do as well.

LMAO! As long as you don't eat it I'm sure you're fine. But I do get tempted to eat my MAC. It looks so tasty!

Cholesterol is a phospholipide (sp?) and is part of your cell membrane. It also gives the cell elasticity/fluidity.

More flavor.
serum cholesterol is very different from topical cholesterol. The cholesterol in your blood is due to a mixture of diet and how well your body processes cholesterol. Cholesterol is actually incredibly important to living, giving your cell membrane fluidity, which is why our bodies evolved mechanisms to take in cholesterol as well to make it in our livers.
The cholesterol in the moisturelush probably is there just to make it more moisturizing. It is a lipid after all and there's pretty much no way it can get past your skin into your blood. No worries, MAC is still wonderful

Every cell in your body contains cholesterol.
The membrane, the 'skin' of the cell if you will is made up of phospholipids, within these phospholipids are cholesterol particles. These give the membrane the ability to move and gives it better strength.
Without it cells wouldn't be as flexible and would break killing the cells and making your skin poor in quality.
