DIY Lip Gloss

A well-liked tutorial for making your individual lip gloss is to easily mix Vaseline (petroleum jelly) and crayons. Whereas it’s simple and provides some colour, this formulation has a couple of (main) issues.

Petroleum jelly is a byproduct of the oil refining (gasoline) trade and has some potential unintended effects. Proof factors in direction of poisonous hydrocarbon contamination and pores and skin collagen breakdown. These toxins accumulate within the physique and may even be handed via breast milk.

Then there’s the crayon drawback…

Whereas crayons are technically non-toxic, they weren’t meant for use in skincare (a lot much less ingested). The pigments used are proprietary and (in contrast to DIY crayons) there’s no approach of realizing what you’re getting. In truth, Crayola is adamant customers mustn’t use their crayons for make-up recipes.

So how do you make DIY lip gloss then?

There are many protected, pure elements you should use to make your individual lip care recipes! A lip balm recipe is nice for hydrating lips and pure lip gloss can do the identical. Provider oils assist moisturize, whereas beeswax and shea butter defend. You can even add a couple of drops of important oil for scent and added advantages.

You may add some tint or do extra of a transparent lip gloss. Since beeswax, butters, and oils naturally have some colour it gained’t look clear within the container, however will on the lips.

Beetroot powder is typically really useful, nevertheless it doesn’t supply a lot colour and will get gritty.

As a substitute, this recipe makes use of service oils, beeswax, castor oil, and (non-compulsory) alkanet root for colour. The castor oil is admittedly the key ingredient. It not solely nourishes lips however provides them that shiny shine. In the event you don’t desire a tinted possibility, then omit the alkanet root. Candy almond oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil all work right here. I didn’t use coconut oil because it adjustments from a liquid to a strong relying on the temperature.

Lip Gloss Containers

I typically make lip balms to offer as presents and use the twist up lip balm containers or tins. Lip gloss is way softer so it gained’t work in a Chapstick container. There are many lip gloss tubes with an applicator wand obtainable on Amazon, however I may solely discover plastic choices. The favored squeeze bottle possibility can be plastic. As a substitute, I opted to make use of a glass curler bottle for this lip gloss.

In the event you don’t have a curler bottle then a metallic tin or glass jar will even work. Remember the product will probably be comfortable so it may get messy. You may at all times enhance the beeswax some to make it extra strong in a jar.
