Lip Balm Formula (Standard)

Regarding your request for a color-changing lip balm formula, the special colorant required for this effect is currently not available. Therefore, we cannot provide a formula for a lip balm that changes color.

However, we can offer a basic formula concept for a standard moisturizing lip balm using commonly available ingredients like waxes, butters, and oils. You can adjust the proportions slightly to achieve your desired texture (softer or harder).

Here is a general guideline for a simple lip balm formula:

• Waxes (e.g., Beeswax, Candelilla Wax): 15-25%
  • Provides structure and hardness to the lip balm.
• Butters (e.g., Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter Replacer): 20-40%
  • Adds richness, emollience, and a smooth texture.
• Oils (e.g., Jojoba Oil, Sunflower Oil): 40-60%
  • Provides moisture, glide, and helps to soften the lip balm.

Example Ingredients:

• Waxes: Natural White Beeswax, Candelilla Wax
• Butters: Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter Replacer
• Oils: Jojoba Oil, Sunflower Oil

Basic Mixing Instructions:

1. Weigh all ingredients accurately.
2. Combine waxes, butters, and oils in a heat-resistant container.
3. Gently heat the mixture (e.g., in a double boiler) until all waxes and butters are completely melted and the mixture is clear.
4. Remove from heat and stir gently to ensure even mixing.
5. Optionally, add fragrance or cosmetic colorants (non-color-changing types) at this stage, stirring well.
6. Carefully pour the liquid mixture into lip balm tubes or containers.
7. Allow to cool completely at room temperature until solid before capping.

This formula provides a moisturizing and protective lip balm base. If you wish to add color, you would use standard cosmetic pigments or micas suitable for lip products, not the special color-changing type.
