Recipe makes approximately 4 ozs. ~ all ingredients are weighed

Phase I
2.8 ozs Castor Oil
.08 ozs Iron Oxide/Mica Powder/D&C color (a combination to obtain the
desired shade of lipstick)
.36 ozs Mica White (for a pastel shimmer lipstick) otherwise add this additional
amount of another pigment.

Phase II
.5 ozs Beeswax Pearls
.32 ozs Carnauba Wax
.06 ozs Vitamin E Oil
.16 ozs Lanolin

Phase III
drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract
drops of any all natural flavor oil (we used Cranberry)

Put the ingredients from Phase I into a small pan over very low heat. Be sure to pulverize the iron oxide, mica powder, D&C color and/ or Lip Tints before adding them to the pot. Stir well. Add the ingredients from Phase II and heat until the mixture reaches 170° or until fully melted. Remove from heat then add the ingredients from Phase III and pour into lipstick tubes or lip pots.

This lipstick has a fantastic feel similar to lip balm, and the color will show on your lips. It has great staying power and doesn't feel heavy or greasy.

Photo above: We used crimson lip tint, burgundy red iron oxide, cranberry flavor
oil. The lanolin in this recipe is what actually makes the lipstick color come off
on your lips. Using about a half ounce of any combination of iron oxide, mica
powder, D&C color (our Lip Tints), finely ground, will be the final color of your
lipstick. So go ahead and blend your own special color.
