Beetroot Blush

The personal inspiration

I have experimented with a beetroot-based blush as part of my interest in making my own botanical beauty products. Colour, texture and the way a formula comes together interest me as much as its ingredients.

What is currently recorded

An earlier cream-blush worksheet records shea butter, jojoba, beeswax, arrowroot and kaolin, with beetroot, hibiscus and annatto powders. It also records three shade directions: Soft Rose, Coral Warm and Deep Berry.

Questions guiding the next stage

• How can the batch weights be reconciled into a repeatable formula?
• How do the powders disperse, and how does colour change over time?
• Which ingredients and colourants are suitable for the intended cosmetic use?
