Gather your ingredients – You'll need candelilla wax (or carnauba wax), shea butter, coconut oil, and a natural colorant like beetroot powder or cocoa powder.
Melt the base – In a double boiler, gently melt 1 teaspoon of candelilla wax, 1 teaspoon of shea butter, and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil until fully liquefied.
Add color – Stir in ½ to 1 teaspoon of beetroot powder, cocoa powder, or mica powder, depending on your preferred shade. Mix well to avoid clumps.
Enhance with essential oils – Add a few drops of peppermint or vanilla essential oil for a pleasant scent and mild flavor.
Test the shade – Dab a small amount on your skin to check the color. Adjust by adding more colorant if needed.
Pour into a container – Transfer the mixture into a small lipstick tube or balm container while still warm.
Let it set and Enjoy your DIY vegan lipstick – Allow the lipstick to cool and solidify at room temperature for about an hour before using. Apply and flaunt your homemade, chemical-free, and eco-friendly lip color!
