Instructions for Making 3 Lipsticks: Add 12.5g (2 1/2 tsp) of the base to a disinfected glass jar. Melt the base in a hot water bath (max.150°F/66°C). Add pigments (14% of 12.5g = ¾ - 1 tsp) to achieve desired color & stir. Pour mixture into a mold (grease first with oil). Let lipstick harden in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Remove lipstick from the mold & stick it carefully into a lipstick holder.
Appearance: Off-white smooth paste, faint odor.
Properties: The finished lipstick has refatting & moisturizing properties protecting from dehydrating.
Applications: For making solid lipsticks and solid lip gloss sticks. 3.5oz/100g of the base makes about 17-22 lipsticks (one lipstick weighs ca 4grams)
