are mostly water and to get the powder it is dehydrated or freeze 
dried.  Keeping this in mind you would have to use water to get it to 
disolve and then it would not work in your lip balms because it is 
water based and would seperate out.

stain. I have put already 1 tsp in a about 1.5oz of balm. That seems 
like alot but the stain still doesn't take on the lips. The balm 
itself is a nice deep red color though. Also, the powder doesn't all 
dissolve, there is sediment at the bottom of the mixture. I kept that 
stuff at the bottom and tried it, but it's very grainy and no stain 
again. Help. Trudie
