  Lipstick formulation

  Posted by chhavi on October 26, 2018 at 11:38 am

  Hello, so I am a college student working on the development of cosmetics. 
  So, after a lot of research and studying, I have devised a formulation to work with. However, I am not very sure if it would turn out okay and since I am a student, I am low on funds and I rely on my college to fund me. So, I need to be sure of the formulation somewhat and before ordering the chemicals. 

  So here is my formulation-
  Base intermediate (65.1%)
  Castor oil- 15%
  Jojoba oil- 3%
  Sesame oil- 3%
  Beeswax- 7.5%
  Candellila wax- 7.5%
  Paraffin- 2.5%
  Carnauba- 2.5%
  Cetyl alcohol- 2.5%
  Cocoa butter- 6.6%
  Petrolatum- 5%
  Propyl paraben- 0.02%
  olive oil- 4.48%
  Almond oil- 3%

  Colour intermediate (28%)
  Pigments- 9%
  propyl paraben- 0.005%
  Olive oil- 2.225%
  Castor oil- 16%
  Ethyl alcohol- 0.77%

  Acrylate copolymer powder- 2%
  Castor oil- 3%

  Peppermint oil for fragrance- 0.9%

  If someone can tell me some suggestions about this, it would be great! I don’t know if it would come out as glossy/creamy or any other type. But, I am pretty sure that it won’t be a matte lipstick.
