Is Mica Powder Safe For Lips?
Minerals like Iron Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, and Zinc Oxide that are common in micas are completely harmless. Lip-safe micas contain titanium dioxide, iron oxide, or FD&C colorants as pigments. FD&C stands for food, drug, and cosmetic.
You may use mica powders to color various artistic creations since they are created from a non-toxic, inert mineral that occurs naturally. It only indicates that the colorant has been given the go-ahead for food, medicine, and cosmetics use.

Our DIY Mica Tinted Lip Balm is a simple and enjoyable project in which you can customize and create a new version each time. This time, we used pink mica powder to make it.
We also chose peppermint oil, but you may completely substitute something else. Making this DIY Mica Tinted Lip Balm calls for some of our favorite oils, including coconut, mint, and vanilla.

Method:
Step 1: Mix the beeswax, Shea butter, and coconut oil in a glass measuring cup. Microwave for one minute or until the ingredients are melted. Add the peppermint oil and vitamin E oil.
Step 2: A small amount of mica powder should be added to the end of a craft stick and stirred until dissolved. For a deeper tint, you can apply more but do so gradually. It doesn't require a lot!
Step 3: Fill your empty lip balm tubes carefully with the melted components, and then wait around 30 minutes for the lip balm to set.
