Because the beeswax adulternation is quite common，probably mixed paraffin wax inside the beeswax. If you have DSC, the chart will tell everything!

I think the shea butter and mango butter are the reason, the white particle you saw is fatty acid.
-
Add some highly shrinkable wax, carnauba wax, plus some low shrinkage wax, candelilla wax to balance the shrinkage effect, these waxes all have smooth surfaces.
-
how about add some beeswax?
-
only beeswax probably is not enough to bind those oil. try to add some sunflower wax.
-
try to lower the caster oil and increase the olive oil.

Normally we combine a soft wax beeswax with a hard wax, carnauba or sunflower wax to balance the hardness and lubricity.Apart from the wax, the oil type also can influence the hardness even with the same wax. The stronger polarity，the harder.

they are safe but 1,4-dioxane does not meet the current green trend.

the wax in the cleansing balm is a strature agent, you can choose beeswax plus sunflower wax to be more natural. PE wax and ozokerite are not sustainable ingredients，marine pollution. Many PE wax suppliers change the PE INCI to synthetic wax due to the microplastic issue。。。
-
probably cetyl alcohol doesnot has the oil binding ability. By the way , do you know the difference between microcristaline wax and ozokerite wax? Tks!

Paprik said:Hi,
looking at your formula, I think you need to reduce low melting point ingredients. Lauryl Laurate - melting point 23-30°C. + Shea and Mango butter. In total, you have 25% of those. Keep those under 10%, to give your product good climate stability.
I think what you are experiencing is called “Syneresis”. Please check polarity of those waxes. And the oils. Mixing non-polar and polar ingredients usually results in this issue.
Hope that helps
Dear Paprik,
I fully agree with you on the polar suggestion.
Could you help me sort the polar from high to low: beeswax，sunflower wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, rice bran wax, sumac wax, microcrystalline wax。 Tks！ -
It seems that lips dont have Melanocytes
-
The blooming is due to those natural ingredients which are rich in the fatty acid. The white fuzz is fatty acid as well, you have to choose the wax and oil can control the fatty acid…

But when we take lipsticks out and put the lipsticks in the room tempreature, the matirx will change accodring to the room tempreature again?If yes, I think the refrigerator function is to save time not the matrix.

Thanks for your reply. The polyglyceryl-3/6 easters will help, may I know the mechnism about this.
I share another pic, is the pic same blooming issue?
