Make Lip Gloss - Easy Recipe to make lip gloss!

I have received so many requests following from my lip balm recipes for lip glosses, so here it is another really easy recipe to make lip gloss! Without all those horrible harsh chemicals, this is pure natural skin care. Ingredients:
  • 15 ml Castor Oil
  • 5g Beeswax
  • 2g Carnuba Wax
  • 5ml Sweet Almond Oil

If you want to make larger quantities, simply x this by 10 for a much larger allowance of Lip Gloss.

Instructions:

  • Pop your beeswax in a jug and place in a sacuepan of simmering water, allow to melt
  • Mix in the sweet almond, castor oils and carnuba wax
  • Allow to melt and mix thoroughly

This is your basic lip gloss, simply pour into your chosen pots or bottles, and leave to harden.

To add a little flavour, a natural choice is some yummy essential oils, my personal favourite is Mandarin, but Grapefruit, Peppermint, or Lime are great too, try blending a couple of oils together for a really unique flavour! Remember just add a little drop to your mixture! It is easier to add another drop than try and take it away!

You may like to add a little colour, try a few drops of natural beetroot juice to create a pinkish effect!

Tips!

If your gloss is too sloppy for you, melt it down and add another little piece of beeswax, then leave to harden.
