You can simply manufacture your own lip gloss at home, so why spend money on store-bought ones that are loaded with chemicals? You can make a gorgeous lip gloss that also nourishes your lips with a few simple natural ingredients. Here's how to make lip gloss at home with items you most likely already have in your pantry.
Ingredients Required
- Beeswax: One tablespoon of beeswax (which creates a protective layer and thickens)
- Coconut oil: Two teaspoons of coconut oil (which adds moisture and a smooth texture)
- Shea butter: One spoonful of shea butter (which creates a creamy consistency and profoundly moisturizes)
- Essential oil: Three to five drops of essential oil (optional; vanilla, peppermint, or lavender work nicely for aroma)
- Mica powder: 1/4 teaspoon of mica powder (optional; for color)
- Small lip gloss containers: For keeping
Instructions
Melt the Ingredients of the base:
- Beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter should all be combined in a heatproof dish set over a pot of boiling water, or in a double boiler.
- Stirring periodically will ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly melted and combined.
Add Color and Fragrance:
- Stir in the mica powder until you have the correct shade if you want to add more color.
- For scent, add a few drops of your preferred essential oil and stir thoroughly.
Transfer to Containers:
- Gently transfer the liquefied blend into tiny lip gloss vials.
- Give the gloss time to settle and become firm, perhaps half an hour.
Put a label on it and enjoy:
- Your handmade lip gloss is now ready to use or give as a gift.
Tips for Customization
- Change the Shades: Try creating unique tints by experimenting with different colors of mica powder.
- Boost the Benefits: To provide additional lip nutrition, add a drop of vitamin E oil.
- Modify the Texture: Add more coconut oil for a glossier finish. Add extra beeswax to make a more firm balm.
