Add a hint of beautiful sheen and color to your lips by incorporating beetroot powder, micas or vegetable and natural colorants if you want to make a natural tinted lip balm recipe.
Mica has no documented health side effects, however, prolonged inhalation of mica powder may result in irritation of the respiratory tract, which can be common in workers who process mica powder or are involved with the production. Mica powders are considered safe in beauty products but I personally use them rarely because they do have health consequences to workers and are not 100% natural or raw materials.
Ask yourself, do you REALLY need it?
While most people use beeswax in their DIY lip balms, there are other alternatives as well:
Lip balms are made up of wax-like substances that are used topically. They help moisturize and relieve dry and chapped lips, cold sores etc. While there may be a number of ingredients used in lip balms, one common ingredient is wax, which may be from a plant or animal source.

While you may get too excited and experiment with more than one, you need to know that the recipe can quickly turn overpowering and weigh heavy on your lips. Some of the most common essential oils used in lip balms include:
You may not want to use lemon oil or cinnamon oil in your lip balm for the following reasons:
The dilution of essential oil in your DIY tinted lip balm recipe with coconut oil must be close to 1%. Going for a higher dilution percentage may make it irritant for your lips.
