D Correct answer
Explanation

Many lipsticks contain pearlescent ingredients like guanine, derived from fish scales (specifically herring and sardine scales). This creates the shimmery, iridescent effect in the product. The scales are processed into crystalline guanine powder. Other listed ingredients (peanut oil, apple juice, cotton seeds) are not standard shimmer sources.
