Homemade Natural Lip gloss is always a fun thing to wear, and it’s so easy to make.  Plus, it tastes really good!  These recipes can be altered to preference.  If you like it thicker, add more beeswax; thinner, then add more sweet almond oil.

Additions:

• Cocoa (as much as you like)

• Pinks and reds – beet root powder, alkanet powder, hibiscus powder

• mica – any color

• clays – these will add thickness so add instead of arrowroot powder

Honey and Sweet Almond Oil Lip Gloss

This makes an almost paste-like consistency.  If you’d like it thinner, only use 1/2 tsp wax.  Add 1/2 tsp beet root powder for pink color.

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp beeswax

• 1 tsp of honey

• 5 tsp almond oil

• 2 drops rosemary essential oil to preserve

• essential oils to preference

Instructions:

1. Mix bees wax, honey, and sweet almond oil in small saucepan.

2. Heat on low for a few minutes until wax melts.

3. Cool the gel and add essential oils to preference.  I love peppermint, frankincense, ylang ylang, etc.

4. Put into a clean container.

5. Use a small brush or finger to apply.

Honey and Water Lip Gloss

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup water

• 1/8 teaspoon arrowroot powder

• 2 drops rosemary essential oil to preserve

• essential oils to preference

Instructions:

1. Mix water, honey, and arrowroot in small saucepan.

Aloe Vera Lip Gloss

This one is thinner than the Honey and Almond Oil, but I love it.  I sometimes use 2 Tbs aloe vera and 1 Tbs honey.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbs aloe vera gel

• 1 drop rosemary essential oil to preserve

• essential oils to preference

Instructions:

1. Mix ingredients in a small clean jar.
