The Lipstick Tree is a small tree originating in the Americas, more commonly known as the achiote tree. This plant has many uses, historically being used in culinary dishes and as a food coloring. It is also used in lipstick, which is how it came to get its name. The Lipstick Tree has bright red seeds which have been used for years as a body paint, which makes it the perfect ingredient to help color lipstick!
