Answer
Color Types for Water-Based Lip Tint
For a water-based lip tint that provides a staining effect on the lips, water-soluble dyes are the appropriate choice.
Specifically, colors from the HiStain™ series are designed for this purpose. They are water-soluble and formulated to adhere well to the skin, providing long-lasting color that resists fading, making them suitable for lip tint formulations.
Another type of water-soluble dye that can be used are Acid Dyes. These are also water-soluble and can provide staining properties.
