How to Make Lipstick at Home with Natural Ingredients.
Making your own lipstick is a great way to ensure that you know what’s in your makeup. It also lets you make custom colors suited perfectly to your skin tone. You can find most of the materials to make your own lipstick at craft and health food stores. If your local shops don’t carry a specific ingredient, you should have no problem finding them online.
Tips
Inorganic/mineral pigments (e.g. oxides and micas) generally last longer than organic (e.g. plant material) ones, but they are not as vibrant.
If you’re vegan or allergic to bees, candelilla wax is a good substitute for beeswax. You should be able to find this at most health food stores, but it is also easily accessible online.
If you know you’ll regularly make your own lipstick, to save time, you can make a larger quantity of base (i.e. the oil and wax mixture). Then, you would just take out small amounts of base as you needed them. For example, to make 1 lipstick you would melt 9g of the lipstick base and add 1/4 tsp of pigment before pouring the mixture into a tube, jar, or mould.
Warnings
If you’re making lipstick as gifts or to sell, wear gloves. That way, you won’t contaminate the lipstick with any bacteria that might be on your hands.
Be careful when adding flavours to your lipstick. If you have sensitive lips, flavors could irritate your skin. If this is a concern but you’d still like to try a flavor, just add a very small amount so that the flavor is mild.
Things You'll Need
Various waxes, oils, and pigments (see methods for specific recipes)
Coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle for grinding up pigments
Measuring spoons
Small plastic spatulas or popsicle sticks (for stirring)
A heat-proof container with a spout/beak that you can place in a saucepan of boiling water (pyrex measuring cups are good options)
Saucepan or microwave (for heating and melting ingredients)
Packaging products such as empty lip balm tubes, lipstick containers, and pots/jars
Lipstick mould (optional - only if you want to make professional bullet-style lipsticks)
