    w/o emulsifier could make the pigment disperse better in wax and oil,I think it could make the situation you met better.Base on your description, the pigment seems don’t have a well compatibility with wax and oil.
    As for vegan and natural, I’m wondering if you use plant oil for your 100% source of oil.If it is, then that will be the problem of bad compatibility.
    I’ve add Olivem 900 in my stick formula for stability, but I’m not sure if it’s the ingredient meets your definition of nature.But it’s plant derived .

     add 1~2% w/o emulsifier(but the lipstick may became softer, so you’ll have to add more wax)

    For the second question, the soaping is the little bubble while you smear (hand slide with your cream) the lotion ,so the way we solve that problem is to add some ingredient to decrease surface tension and reduce bubbles, such as alcohol , dimethicone.
     I’ve tried Sensolene Light ET(not sure if I could write the name directly if I should’t please tell me) ,which has a low surface tension. And it works!The effect is good as Dimethicon in Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate lotion.
