Homemade Natural Lip gloss is always a fun thing to wear. It is shiny, silky smooth, healthy for your lips, and it’s so easy to make!
Plus, it tastes really good! I now that sounds odd, but take a look at the ingredients below. I told you it is a healthy recipe. You know it is if you can eat it off your lips.
These recipes can be altered to preference as well. If you like it thicker, add more beeswax; if you like your lip gloss thin, then add more sweet almond oil. I love a versatile recipe. Play around with it and enjoy this fun DIY.
Additions:
- Cocoa Color: Add Cocoa Powder! Add as much cocoa as you like to darken and bring the color more toward a brown hue.
- Pink and Red Colors: Add beet root powder (red/pink), alkanet root powder (purple), and hibiscus powder (pink)
- Sparkle: For health purposes, choose a healthy source of mica that hasn’t added any fake neon coloring
Rosemary is added to slow oxidation of oils.
Lip Gloss Instructions
- Mix bees wax and sweet almond oil in small saucepan. Heat this on low until the beeswax melts. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add honey and mix well.
- Cool and add color and essential oil (you can add a drop or two of peppermint essential oil as a natural lip plumper).
- When this mixture is cool, put it into a clean container. Apply with a clean brush.
This makes an almost paste-like consistency, which can be great if it works with the lip brush that you have. If you’d like it thinner, add a few more drops of sweet almond oil.
This lip gloss will keep for 4-6 weeks, depending on how sterile you keep it.
