Carnauba and candelilla wax results

Carnauba wax (1:3 = 10g wax: 30g liquid oil)

I used pomace olive oil as the liquid oil.

ratio	in a tube	in a pot
1:3	Too hard	Too hard
1:4	OK	Too hard
1:5	OK	OK
1:6	Too soft	OK
1:7	Too soft	OK
1:8	Too soft	Too soft

 

Candelilla wax

ratio	in a tube	in a pot
1:3	OK	Too hard
1:4	OK	Too hard
1:5	Too soft	OK
1:6	Too soft	OK
1:7	Too soft	OK
1:8	Too soft	Too soft

 

All the combinations that are OK in a tube would be good for a lipstick.

If you are making a lipstick, please be aware that the above waxes are yellow.

This makes colouring the lipstick with micas different from a lipstick made with white beeswax.

In lipsticks, use castor oil or a combination of castor and jojoba oils.
