It's great for making lipstick/chapsticks because it adds a nice tint to the product. It's not very colourful, but by adjusting the ingredients in the recipe, I was able to achieve a much darker tint when using coconut oil and a little honey. I'll have to work on making better adjustments to the recipe I had, but hopefully I'll be able to get it close to perfect. Using small amounts gives a nice and natural tint, so I was pleased as well. Some grounds are coarser, so expect some tea dots to be visible, but if you let the tea settle after mixing it up before pouring it in, you will most likely have consistent colour and whatever was more dense (larger particles) on the bottom, so let it settle for a minute or so. I hope this helps.
