I am tryin to incorporate hibiscus powder and beet root powderI normally formulate everything but I had a ready made base in my stash of ingredients and when I checked the ingredients it appeared to be an ok formula. I do not know the percentage of each ingredient but this is the list of the lipstick base.
castor seed oil
cetyl stearyl alcohol,
olive fruit oil,
beeswax,
hydrogenated castor oil,
glycine soybean lipids,
laurel laurate,
carnauba wax,
candellia wax.To this I was adding beetroot powder and hibiscus flower powder in a gram of glycerin .i also added 5 grams of btms-50 to the entire mixture.
