Preferably, the excipient may be, including but not limited to, other components commonly used for cosmetics such as anti-oxidant, activator, preservative, aromatic or mixture thereof, which is allowed to be used on lips according to regulatory requirements. The anti-oxidant includes but is not limited to tocopheryl acetate; the activator includes but is not limited to bisabolol; the preservative includes but is not limited to propyl hydroxybenzoate; and the aromatic includes but is not limited to essence.
The present invention also provides a preparation method of the above variable color transparent lip balm, comprising the steps of:
(1) stirring and mixing dibutyl lauroyl glutamide, polyamide-3, bis-stearyl ethylenediamine/neopentyl glycol/stearyl hydrogenated dimer dilinoleate copolymer, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, heptyl undecylenate, C10-30 cholesterol/lanosterol esters, hydrogenated C6-20 polyolefin and dextrin isostearate thoroughly, then heating them to 130˜140° C., until all of them are completely melted and transparent;
(2) adding and stirring eosin yellowish and excipient to mixture of step (1) thoroughly at a temperature of 100° C., whereby a completely dissolved mixture is obtained; and
(3) cooling the mixture obtained by step (2) to 95˜100° C., then injecting it into a mould, after that, demoulding is performed when it is cooled to 4˜12° C.
A transparent product with color changing function is developed in the present invention based on ordinary lip balm. Under normal circumstances, there are not so many raw materials used for making transparent lip balm, wherein only a few of them can be compatible with eosin yellowish. A lip balm with both transparent and variable color effect is achieved through optimizing proper composition formula according to the present invention, and it satisfies consumer's requirements for fashion and aesthetics. The lip balm of the present invention has an orange and transparent appearance. However, when the lip balm is applied on lips, it is orange at first, then it gradually becomes bright red with time, which brings a fantastic feeling for consumers. The variable color lip balm of the present invention makes people experience pleasant feeling brought by lip gloss while enjoying lip care.

Lip balm of each example described above is prepared respectively by steps of:
1. stirring and mixing raw materials of A phase thoroughly, then heating them to 130˜140, until they are completely melted and transparent;
2. adding and stirring materials of B phase into A phase thoroughly at a temperature of 100, whereby a completely dissolved mixture is obtained; and
3. cooling the mixture obtained by step 2 to 95˜100° C., then injecting it into a mould, after that demoulding is performed when it is cooled to 4˜12° C., then a variable color transparent lip balm is obtained.
Testing and using effects of the lip balms obtained in Examples 1˜3 are shown in following table:

1. Melting point, tested by the melting point determination method described in appendix VIC of Chinese Pharmacopeia, 2010 edition.
2. Breaking strength, tested by lip balm fracture apparatus. Generally, for lip balm with a diameter of 12.7mm, its breaking strength will be in the range of 400-800 g, so as to ensure it won't be fractured in use.
3. Variable color effect, marked by sensorial and visual assessment in actual use. 5 scores means excellent, 4 scores means good, 3 scores means average, 2 scores means poor, and 1 score means very poor. data from 20 subjects are recorded, and an average value is taken.
4. Transparency, tested by visual assessment.
According to the testing results shown in the above table, it can be seen that the lip balms of Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention behave excellently not only on good transparency but also on variable color effect, and they have suitable hardness and reliable melting point range, producing a high-value application.
