Organic Vegan Lip Tint Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Tablespoon Organic Illipe Butter
• (or Organic Fair Trade Cocoa Butter)
• 4 teaspoons Organic Carnauba Wax 
• 2 Tablespoons Organic Fair Trade Avocado Oil
• 1 Tablespoon Organic Sweet Almond Oil
• 24-36 drops of Essential Oil of choice, optional
• 5 drops of Vitamin E Oil
• 2 teaspoons Organic Beet Root Powder

Supplies:

• Spoon
• Large Glass Pyrex Measuring Cup
• 6 – 1/4 oz. plastic jars with lids or 10 – .15 oz. lip balm tubes
• glass dropper or 3ml Graduated Plastic Transfer Pipettes

Instructions:

Begin by measuring out the carnauba wax and illipe butter using a teaspoon and tablespoon measurement. The wax comes in flakes so it should be ready to measure immediately. As the illipe butter is solid at room temp, you will want to grate it in order to measure it. Next, place four teaspoons of carnauba wax in a glass measuring cup and melt in 1-minute increments on reduced power in the microwave. When the wax is melted about half way, add one Tablespoon of the illipe butter and continuing melting. (Alternately you can also use a double boiler on the stove.)

Once the wax and butter have melted fully, measure out the avocado oil and sweet almond oil and pour into the mixture. Stir well. If necessary, place back in the microwave for an additional 30 seconds or so to re-melt if the mixture starts to solidify when you add the liquid oils. Then using a glass dropper or pipette, measure out and add the essential of your choice – I actually used 3 parts organic lime peel essential oil and 1 part chocolate flavor oil for mine – and mix well.

The final step in creating your lip tint is to add the red beet root powder. You will need to mix this really, really well otherwise you will have clumps of beet powder throughout your lip stain. Once mixed, pour into your choice of lip balm pots or using a glass dropper to fill lip balm tubes. Cap and allow to cool completely. Then use and enjoy!
