Blooming Botanicals: DIY Lip Gloss for Luscious, Nourished Lips

Welcome in the spring with a fresh rosy burst of natural beauty for your lips! This seasonal Roll-On Lip Gloss recipe is inspired by the gentle blooming of rose bushes in the garden.

With its subtle hint of color and nourishing blend of organic oils and shea butter, this lip gloss not only adds a delicate tint but also seals in moisture.

Crafted with a harmonious blend of calendula, pomegranate, and jojoba oil or your carrier oil(s) of choice, along with the soothing touch of refined shea butter, this gloss will gently nourish and lock in hydration—helping to prevent moisture loss. A bit of organic beetroot powder offers an optional natural tint, while a couple of drops of rose essential oil enhance the floral aroma for a personal, feminine touch. For an extra special detail, add a few dried damascena rose buds into your clear roll-on bottle and let nature’s beauty inspire you.

Perfect for those who appreciate all-natural, healthy ingredients, this roll-on lip gloss is your new seasonal bestie! Enjoy the delicate hydration and the gentle, understated color as you celebrate the season of renewal!

Ingredients (Makes 50 ml):

• 3 Tbsp. Organic Calendula, Pomegranate, and Jojoba Oil, carrier oil(s) of your choice
  (Nourishes and helps lock in moisture)

• 1 Tbsp. Organic Refined Shea Butter
  (Soothes and hydrates by forming a protective barrier on the lips)

• 1 Tbsp. Organic Beetroot Powder or Hibiscus Powder (optional for tint)
  (Adds a natural, subtle color)

• 2 Drops Amaranth Seed Oil
  (Offers extra nourishment)

• 1-2 Drops Organic Rose Essential Oil (optional)
  (Enhances the floral aroma and mood)

• Optional Add-In:
  If using clear roll-on bottles, add organic rose buds for a personal, feminine touch.

Directions:

1. Set Up a Double Boiler:

   • Place a glass bowl, glass measuring cup, or double boiler insert over a pan of simmering water.

2. Melt the Base:

   • Combine the organic calendula, pomegranate, and jojoba oil with the refined shea butter in your vessel.

   • Heat gently over the simmering water, stirring regularly until the mixture is fully melted and blended.

3. Cool the Mixture:

   • Remove from heat and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes to prevent degradation of active ingredients.

4. Add Optional Ingredients:

   • Stir in vitamin E (if using), the beetroot powder for tint, and the essential oils (rose essential oil is optional). Tints need to be well-stirred to fully dissolve.

5. Prepare the Bottles:

   • If using clear roll-on bottles, drop 2-3 organic rose buds (or your botanicals of choice) into each bottle for a charming, personal touch.

6. Fill and Seal:

   • Carefully pour the cooled mixture into your roll-on bottles.

   • Secure the lid once the mixture is fully cooled.

7. Final Touch:

   • Shake well before each use to ensure the ingredients are well blended.

Enjoy your homemade, naturally hydrating lip gloss and celebrate the beauty of spring with every application!
