The specified ingredients are sufficient to fill several lip gloss jars, as it is hardly possible to weigh smaller amounts of ingredients. However, a stock of base is ideal if you want to experiment with different pigment mixtures or regularly make your own lip gloss.

Prepare lip gloss yourself

  1. Buy the ingredients for making your lip gloss at a pharmacy or specialty store Cosmetics for do-it-yourself. Note that the ingredients are usually only dispensed in larger quantities than required.
  2. To mix the specified ingredients, you need to warm them up. This works best in a water bath. To do this, heat a little water in a saucepan and place a fireproof bowl, for example made of ceramic, in the middle of the saucepan.
  3. Make sure that the water does not start to boil or get into the bowl. Heat the jojoba oil and castor oil in the bowl. Both oils have particularly caring and protective properties.
  4. Let the beeswax melt in the warm oil. Stir the mixture with a stick until no lumps can be seen.

  5. Carefully take the bowl out of the pot with the hot water and let the lip gloss base cool a little while stirring.
  6. The best thing to do is to put most of the basic mixture in a sealable container that you can store in the refrigerator for several months. You can now mix your pigments into the remaining, still warm base mass.
  7. If the pigments have not yet been ground very finely, you will have to do this with a porcelain mortar. If you mix several pigments, always make a note of the quantities used in case you want to make a lip gloss in the same color again.
  8. Work quickly so that you can still fill the lip gloss liquid into a lip gloss jar. It takes an hour for the lip gloss to cool completely and its final consistency can be seen.
  9. If you are not completely satisfied with the consistency, you can easily change it. To make a new lip gloss, take a little of your base material and heat it up again in a water bath. For more shine, add more oil, for more durability, more wax under the mass.
