Homemade lip gloss is not only cheaper than store-bought, but you can also customize the flavor, color, and scent to your liking. Here is a simple recipe for how to make it at home.

Making Process of Lip Gloss at Home

Making your own lip gloss is a fun, economical way to get your desired shade. You need petroleum jelly, wax, oil, colorant and essential oils to make it. Heat the ingredients over low heat, stirring in the oil and colorant until blended. Then add essential oils for scent and pour into containers. Let's describe the making process of Lip Gloss at home step by step.

 

Gather ingredients and necessary supplies

 

Before you start, make sure you have everything you need. This includes:

 

1-A clean work surface

 

2-A lip balm or Vaseline

 

3-A small pot

 

4-A spoon

 

5-A lip gloss container

 

6-A measuring spoon and

 

7-Optional: food coloring, essential oils, and glitter

 

Melt down beeswax and coconut oil

 

Beeswax or paraffin grated or in pearls and coconut oil are natural ingredients that can be used to make lip gloss. To melt them down, put them in a double boiler or a glass bowl that can fit on top of a pot of boiling water. Stir until the beeswax and coconut oil are melted and combined.

 

Add in color and flavoring

 

If you want to add color and flavoring to it, you can do so by adding a few drops of beet juice, lipstick nubs, food coloring or natural extract or essential oil. To add color, start with just a few drops and mix until you get the desired shade. If you want to add flavoring, add a few drops of essential oil or natural extract  and mix well. You can experiment with different combinations of colors and flavors to find your perfect blend.

 

Mix in petroleum jelly or carrier oils

 

Now it's time to add in the petroleum jelly or carrier oil like castor, sesame, almond, jojoba, coconut, olive etc or a combination of the above. This will help to thicken up the mixture and give it a nice, glossy finish. Start with a small amount and mix it in well. You can always add more if you want a thicker gloss.

 

Decide on a container for the finished product

 

Now that you have your ingredients, it's time to decide on a container for your finished product. You can use anything from a small jar to a lip balm tube. If you're using a jar, you'll need to use a lip brush to apply the gloss. If you're using a tube, you can simply apply the gloss directly to your lips.

 

Once you've decided on a container, it's time to start making your lip gloss!

 

Pour the mixture into the container

 

Pour the mixture into the container. Make sure the container is clean and dry before adding the mixture. If you're using a container with a lid, make sure the lid is tight so the gloss doesn't leak.

 

Cool and let them set

 

Let this be set for at least an hour, or until it is completely hardened. You can then use it as you would any other lip gloss.

 

Enjoy your homemade lip gloss

 

And that's it, You now have your very own homemade lip gloss.
