Color Adjustment for Tan Skin and Oil Substitution in Lip Products
Question
I have tan skin with reddish undertones. To adjust the color of my foundation/powder, is it correct to add `Red Iron Oxides EasyMix™` to `Beige Iron Oxides EasyMix™` and the powder base?
Also, for mixing `Lip stick` and `Lip Balm`, I have the following oils: `Rose Hip Oil`, `Argan Oil`, `น้ำมันมะพร้าว/Virgin Coconut Oil (Organic Cold Pressed)`, and `น้ำมันมะกอก/Olive oil (Extra Virgin)`. I also have `Rich Blended Base Oil 0.5 Kg` (containing Mixed Mineral, Sweet Almond Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Olive oil, Jojoba Oil, Evening Primrose Oil).
Can I use these oils to replace `Jojoba Oil` and `Fractionated Coconut Oil` in my `Lip stick` and `Lip Balm` formulations?
Answer
Response to Your Formulation Questions
Thank you for your questions regarding your formulations and product orders.
Regarding the color adjustment for your foundation/powder for tan/reddish skin tone, using only Beige Iron Oxides EasyMix™ may not be sufficient. As the staff mentioned, you may need to add a small amount of Black Iron Oxides EasyMix™ and/or Red Iron Oxides EasyMix™ to achieve the desired shade that matches your skin tone, especially if your skin has reddish undertones. Mixing these colors with your powder base is the correct approach.
Concerning the use of your existing oils (Rose Hip Oil, Argan Oil, Virgin Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, and Rich Blended Base Oil) in place of Jojoba Oil and Fractionated Coconut Oil for Lip stick and Lip Balm formulations, based on the staff's response, these oils can likely be used. However, please note that the Rich Blended Base Oil contains Mineral Oil, which the staff mentioned might reduce the glossiness compared to natural oils.
