This lovely DIY tinted lip balm is very similar to the DIY tinted lip balm without beeswax. The main difference is that this DIY tinted lip balm contains beeswax. The beeswax makes the lip balm go on smoothly. It does so while sealing in the moisture from the skin nourishing butter and oil. So, unless you want, need, or prefer a lip balm without beeswax, the DIY tinted lip balm with beeswax is the way to go!
Ingredients
This DIY tinted lip balm is prepared with mango butter, almond oil, beeswax, and colorant.
1. Mango Butter
Mango butter is a natural antimicrobial, and it does an excellent job of moisturizing the skin on your lips. While it is solid at room temperature, the mango butter softens easily when you apply the DIY tinted lip balm to your lips.
2. Almond Oil
Almond oil is another antioxidant-rich, skin loving oil that makes a wonderful addition to lip balms. As an antioxidant, almond oil can help to naturally preserve the quality of your DIY tinted lip balm. And what is more, it does an excellent job of moisturizing your lips without making them feel sticky or greasy.
3. Beeswax
Beeswax creates a protective barrier for your lips with the ingredients used in this DIY tinted lip balm. The beeswax is an emollient that seals the moisture in your lips. And as a humectant, it can attract and retain even more moisture. You will need a white beeswax or a vegan white candelilla wax to make DIY tinted lip balm. Otherwise, the yellow beeswax may alter the color of your tinted lip balm.
4. Colorant
The DIY tinted lip balm should be prepared with a lip safe mica powder. You can find the perfect color or create your own unique color.
Yields: 2-3 Tinted Lip Balms (Depending on tube size.)
