Solid Lip Gloss Recipe

Solid Lip Gloss Recipe

Makes 200 grams

Most commercial lip glosses contain petroleum-based ingredients which may not be the ideal thing you want to be putting on your mouth.

Making your own lip gloss means you can use great natural oils and butters that not only provide the lovely looking gloss you want, but will actually moisturize your lips and help to prevent and repair damage.


This recipe can also be customized with food-grade flavouring, or micas to add colour and shimmer.

Ingredients:
10%     Beeswax                                20 grams    
 4%      Shea Butter                             8 grams    
25%     Sunflower Oil                         50 grams
25%     Almond Oil Sweet                  50 grams    
25%     Castor Oil                               50 grams
