Lovely color! I have the red/blue iron oxide from TKB and love it! I use it in lip colors and blush. The most effective way I have found at removing oils and waxes from melting containers is to first swab it out with a silicone spatula, then wipe with paper towels, followed by wash with good detergent lol. It is a process! But is worth it rather than wetting and trying to wash out all the excess goo in the sink! Love it!

That's exactly what I do! Usually, at least, lol. That's where those beautiful spatulas come in extra-super handy. I once taught a DIY lipstick workshop and I had to do all the dishes... LORDY.

If I were to make up a larger batch of this base melted on direct heat to incorporate the magnesium stearate, would I be able to re-melt small portions of it via water bath? Or would the magnesium stearate separate / not melt.... ? (does that make sense?) I was thinking about making up a larger batch of base then being able to melt single batch volumes in a small glass bowl for incorporating pigments... any thoughts would be much appreciated!

So, I have a few questions. 1. What is the difference between the percentages/metrics used for Pigments in a lip stick v.s a lip tint? Let's say I wanted this color, how much would I need to divide the color recipe to get a tint and not a lipstick? 2. How do you know how much color you want to use to create a lip tint? Is there a standard amount? 3. I know you'll probably have this in your book, but how would one know what colors to mix together to get a specific color? lol or will I have to wait? I'm only interested in making tints.
@HumblebeeAndMe8 жыл бұрын
Honestly, that's s whole lot of "it depends". How much do you apply? How do you define a tint vs lipstick? The book has loads of colour blends and info on both lipsticks and tints. In my experience, blending colours is part colour theory and part actual doing; you can know that red + blue = purple, but the right red (oxide vs carmine) and other ingredients (titanium dioxide?) will seriously impact the end colour you'll get. I probably made 50 different lipstick shades for the book, and constantly surprised myself with what I got vs. what I thought I'd get. So... yeah. It depends LOL. Just experiment! Take notes! You'll figure out something you love and have fun in the process :)

Sooo pretty! :-D I use a different method and I'm wondering if you've ever tried this way: I get everything melted, add the colours, give it a good stir, then walk away. Once it's cooled but not hardened, I mix until there are no streaks. Then I gently reheat and pour. It seems to take a lot less time than mixing while everything is melted and the colours seem to be incorporated well, but I would love to hear if you have any thoughts on possible pitfalls of the different method! 💜
@HumblebeeAndMe6 жыл бұрын
Your method sounds great if the base will allow for it! I find my lipstick bases (perhaps not this one, but the ones in my book) are so firm that there is no such thing as a cool phase that allows for stirring. If it's cool, it's solid :P

That would likely help! I often develop recipes in much smaller quantities (where the pigment blending is less of a problem) and then scale them up so my readers don't need a scale that's accurate to 0.01g, so if you have a super precise scale you could also try scaling this recipe down quite a bit, and that'll help :)

It's really not that simple; there are SO many variables in making cosmetics. Adhesion, slip, tack, texture, consistency, melting point, pigmentation-every single one of those things is impacted by each ingredient you use, and the amounts of it you use. I'd recommend purchasing my book, Make it Up (www.humblebeeandme.com/make-it-up-preorder/).

I use iron oxide for soaps but then that's it. I have tried many times to use iron oxide in my lip balms with various recipes, but nothing worked with red iron oxide. I can see that it blends well only in Glycerine but even where I've used Glycerine, the formulation failed miserably. Please guide me as to what natural colors I should use for the above mentioned formulations. Thanks

@HumblebeeAndMe4 жыл бұрын
In cosmetics, maximum usage rates are expressed as percentages. "1000mg/kg" sounds like a maximum dose for the body-usually when eating something? So that would likely be 1000mg per kilo of body weight? You can learn more about it in cosmetics from CosmeticsInfo.org, but here is a relevant passage: "The CIR Expert Panel reviewed acute oral studies indicating that the Stearate salts were practically nontoxic, and had a low potential for acute dermal toxicity. Skin irritation studies demonstrated that Stearates were only minimal to slight irritants at high concentrations." You can learn more about what it does in cosmetics in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/).
