How to make your own lipstick?

When making your own beeswax lip balm, you can add your favorite olive oil and other essential oils, such as lavender essential oil with a light floral scent. Add about 4 to 8 drops of pure plant essential oil to every 10 ml of lip balm. This will increase the moisturizing properties of the lipstick.

Ingredients: 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of beeswax, 40 ml (8 teaspoons) of natural vegetable oil, olive oil is recommended.

Buy: Beeswax, available at chemical raw material stores; Coconut oil, available at chemical raw material stores. Cost: About 1 yuan per 50ml beeswax olive oil lip balm.

Production:

First, pour the olive oil into a measuring cup.

Step 2: Add the beeswax to the olive oil.

The third step is to place the measuring cup containing the olive oil and beeswax mixture into a boiling pot and heat it over water until the beeswax is completely melted. The color of the melted solution is slightly darker than that of pure olive oil.

The fourth step is to add vitamin E after it melts. Use scissors to cut it open first, and then squeeze the solution in.

Fifth, add honey quickly. If necessary, continue heating it in the pot and stirring it. Otherwise, the honey will not melt into the olive oil and will clump together.

Step 6: Add plant essential oil. Once adding and stirring are completed, you are almost done.

Step 7. Finally, pour the prepared solution into the lipstick tube. If you don’t want essential oil, pour some of it into the lipstick tube before adding essential oil.

The last step is to cover the lip balm tube filled with the solution, then put it in the freezer for 10 minutes and you're done. The above is lip balm. If you want any color, just add plant pigments to it. You can choose thick or light color according to your personal preference. The point is that any dye has risks, so why not go with something that lasts longer (food coloring).
