Tips to DIY Lip Gloss

Our first tip is to do careful research when it comes to ingredients. One of the benefits of making your own lip gloss is being able to choose what exactly you want to go on your lips. Lip gloss can be made with oils, waxes, pigments, emollients, and flavorings. We also recommend reading other lip gloss labels to get an idea of what you’d like to include in your own formula. We highly suggest you choose organic ingredients, vegan, and cruelty-free ingredients.

When trying to come up with your very own unique formula, it is recommended to experiment with small quantities to avoid product waste which can be harmful to your wallet. This step will be the hardest, but once you discover the result, it will surely be rewarding. Once your formula is created, you will have to do some math to get the percentages of each ingredient to make bigger batches.

It is also good to do research on the current trend of colors, this way you can choose a color that is most currently used. If you are trying to sell your new product, this will allow you to target a certain audience. If you are deciding to do this for personal use, this is where your creativity can kick in, especially if there is a color you haven’t been able to find elsewhere. We also recommend playing around with different scents and flavorings.

Our last tip is calculating how much stirring will have to do into the mixing. Stirring is actually a very important step to create the desired texture for the gloss. We also recommend doing this in a ventilated area so as to not get dizzy from possible fumes and have more oxygen to breathe if you end up mixing for an extended period of time.

This will not be an easy task and it will require time, but after a few tries and errors you can certainly end up with a beautiful and magical lip gloss. You will never know the results until you try it. Persistence and patience is key. Good luck!
