This a quick video on how to make tinted lip balm. I'll also share my recipe for this tinted lip balm. I love how the lip balm glides on smoothy and with a glossy finish leaving a very nice colour on the lips.
Recipe for this tinted lip balm:
20% Cocoa Butter
20% Shea Butter
20% Beeswax
20% Olive Oil
20%Castor Oil
0.2g-0.4g Lip Safe Mica

You can also melt melt and pour soap and make new soaps from the wax! I have showed the process in the previous video as well!
