Ingredients for this Natural Red Lipstick Recipe
1 tsp of organic beeswax pellets
1 tsp organic shea butter
1 tsp of organic grapeseed oil
1/8 tsp russet iron oxide
1/8 tsp of honey beige mica
1/8 tsp of antique rose mica
3 drops of peppermint essential oil
3 plastic lip balm containers / tubes
Yield : 3 lip balm tubes
You can buy plastic lip balm containers on mountain rose herbs or amazon.com. If you live in Canada go to amazon.ca; you will avoid hefty customs fees that way!

Directions:
Melt the beeswax, oil and grapeseed oil together on low heat in a double boiler.
Once melted remove from heat, add the iron oxide and mica and blend together with a manual whip.
Pour right away in small lip balm containers before it starts to harden completely.
If it has already started to harden, put the bowl back in the double boiler and melt again until you can pour back in the lip balm containers.
