what is lipgloss made out of?

Answer 1

i have a recipe for you for lip gloss, with all the ingredients
Lip Gloss Recipe
Materials Needed:


Paraffin wax
Coconut oil
Petroleum jelly
Candy melts (to color the gloss and make it taste sweet)
Oil-based candy flavoring (if you want a special flavor)
Grater
Wax paper
Ziploc bag
Small container (recycle old makeup containers or 35mm film containers, or look in stores that carry beads, crafts, or fishing tackle)
Instructions:
Grate some paraffin wax onto wax paper. Measure 1/4 teaspoon grated wax into the plastic bag. Add 1 teaspoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon petroleum jelly, and 1 candy melt. Add 1/8 teaspoon oil-based candy flavoring if you like.

Seal the bag and carefully put it in a bowl of hot tap water to melt ingredients, about 3-5 minutes.

(Use tap water! Never use a microwave or stove to heat the water).
Once all the ingredients are melted, remove the bag from the water. Squish ingredients around in bag to mix; work quickly! Clip off a tiny corner of the bag and squeeze gloss into the clean container. Let it set for an hour, or put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

There you go! Use a cotton swab instead of your finger to apply gloss. Your lip-gloss should last a long time. If it changes color, odor, or texture, though, throw it away

Depends where you get it! Mineral makeup lipgloss will be different from regular lip gloss. For example Everyday Minerals clear lip gloss has mango butter, almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and beeswax. Pureluxe's Lippies has almond butter, coconut oil, beeswax, olive oil, cocoa butter, mango butter, mica, flavoring. Cory Cosmetics lip gloss has natural plant oils, butters, mica powder, titanium dioxide, iron oxides, and bees wax.

Or could go for the chemical glosses like Cover Girl Lipslicks Lipgloss: Castor oil, lanolin oil, lanolin, petrolatum, polybutene, ozokerite, oleyl alcohol, octyl methoxycinnamate, candelilla wax, octyl hydroxystearate, hydrogenated vegetable oil, cetyl acetate, paraffin, cetyl alcohol, fragrance, ascorbyl palmitate, tocopheryl acetate, acetylated lanolin alcohol, propylene glycol, propylparaben, carnauba, glyceryl oleate, mica, titanium dioxide. May Contain: Iron oxides, red 6 barium lake, yellow 5 aluminum lake, red 7 calcium lake, red 27 aluminum lake, blue 1 aluminum lake, red 6.

Or how about Clinique's Glosswear For Lips?
lanolin oil, hydroxylated lanolin, polybutene, microcrystalline wax, isopropyl palmitate, octyl palmitate, octyl methoxycinnamate, ceresin, isopropyl lanolate, stearalkonium hectorite, arachidyl propionate, candelilla wax, propylene carbonate, aloe barbadensis extract, tocopheryl acetate, linoleic acid, bht, propylparaben, (may contain mica, titanium dioxide, red 7 lake, iron oxides, yellow 5 lake, red 33 lake, carmine, blue 1 lake, red 22 lake, red 28 lake, yellow 6 lake, red 30 lake, red 6, bismuth oxychloride, manganese violet)
NOPE!
