Lip balm formula review and ingredient suggestion

Subject: Regarding your lip balm formula

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your formula. Based on the ingredients, this is indeed a lip balm formula, and it includes colorants (D/C Red no.27 Lake and White Iron Oxides) which would give it a light red tint.

Our staff has reviewed the formula and suggested replacing Lexfeel D5 with LipidSoft™ Lite. LipidSoft™ Lite is a light emollient that can be a suitable alternative for Lexfeel D5 in lip balm formulations.

Here is the original formula you provided:

• Phase A
  • Lexfeel D5: 56.5%
  • Jojoba Oil: 15.0%
  • White Petrolatum Jelly Plonier 3476: 7%
  • D/C Red no.27 Lake: 0.3%
  • White Iron Oxides Easy mix: 1.20%
• Phase B
  • Pure white bees wax: 10%
  • Carnauba Wax: 8%
• Phase C
  • Spectrastat -E: 1%
  • dl-alpha tocopherol: 1%
  • Total: 100%

And here is the adjusted formula with the suggested replacement:

• Phase A
  • LipidSoft™ Lite: 56.5%
  • Jojoba Oil: 15.0%
  • White Petrolatum Jelly Plonier 3476: 7%
  • D/C Red no.27 Lake: 0.3%
  • White Iron Oxides Easy mix: 1.20%
• Phase B
  • Pure white bees wax: 10%
  • Carnauba Wax: 8%
• Phase C
