Frequently Asked Questions

What pigments can I add?
Cosmetic-grade lip-safe mica powders, iron oxide pigments, or pre-made cosmetic lip colorants work well. Always ensure any added ingredients are approved for lip product use.

Can I use this on its own as a clear lip gloss?
Yes — the base provides a smooth, non-sticky, moisturising clear gloss that is comfortable and wearable on its own as a daily clear lip treatment.

Does the base need to be melted before adding pigments?
For even colour distribution, gently warming the base makes mixing easier. Liquid pigments may mix in without heating — adjust based on the consistency of the formula.
