This small selection of Lip Glosses and Roll On Balms will give you heaps to be getting on with!
They are not my own recipes, but have been passed on by friends and suggested by customers.
Any of the recipes with glycerine in will not stay in emulsion, as the "oil" and "water" will separate
but a quick shake before use will fix this.
Of course with the Lava Gloss, this is the look you really want to achieve - it's great stuff and a winner with teenagers!
There are also some recipes teaspoon measurements as well as we know how difficult it can be without
digital scales when using such small amounts.
Roll on Lip Gloss No. 1
56g Almond Oil
28g Jojoba
14g Glycerine
Lip Balm Flavouring if desired
Mica to colour if desired
Stevia to taste if desired
Method
Mix all ingredients well, and pour into roll on bottles.
If using mica, try warming the glycerine a little, and stir powder through this before combining.
TIP: If you wish to make less, it is absolutely fine to halve or quarter the recipe.
Roll On Lip Balm
1 teaspoon Shea Butter
1 teaspoon Mango Butter
1 Tablespoon liquid oil your choice
10 drops Vitamin E
5-8 drops lip balm flavouring if desired
Mica to colour if desired
Stevia to taste if desired
Method
Melt oil and butters together.
Add rest of ingredients.
Pour into roll on bottles.
Lava Gloss No.1
(Red colour looks pretty amazing!!!)
150g glycerine
2.5g flavouring or Essential Oil (use with Caution)
0.5g colour or LESS (liquid food colour for eg, water soluble, about 10 drops or as desired)
Equal parts castor oil and sweet almond oil (You use this to top up the tubes so no exact measure is given)
Method:
Mix the glycerine, Essential Oil and food colouring together.
Three-quarters fill the glass tube with the oils, and then add the coloured glycerine.
Make sure to leave a little space for the roller ball!
You will see this ingredients separate into two layers, like a lava lamp !
Just turn the roller bottle upside down once to mix before use.
Liquid Gloss No. 2
8 tsp Avocado oil or Macadamia Oil
2 tsp Castor oil
1 tsp Glycerine
1 tsp Coconut oil
8 -10 drops lip balm flavouring if desired
Mica to colour if desired
Stevia to taste if desired
Method:
Slightly Warm all ingredients and mix together
**If using avocado oil, this oil will make a slightly green mixture due to the avocado oil, you can heighten this colour by using our "green colour"
or if using food colour from the pantry, add this to the glycerine
HOT TIP: If you wish for a thicker and glossier finish to your recipes, exchange a thinner oil for some Castor Oil but remember to increase the Stevia as this oil will add a bitterness to the balm.
Alternatively, they make Great Roll On Perfume Dispensers - just add the the fragrance to Jojoba, meadowfoam, Fractionated Coconut oil and/or Cyclomethicone!
