Recipe: Super-Gloss Roll-On

Copyright (c) Smell No Evil, Ltd.

Mom's, do you remember "Kissing Gloss"? This recipe is one you can control to be less "sticky" than the original and it's a great way to learn a little science at the same time! This is a great project for discussing viscosity, weight vs. volume, primary colors vs. secondary colors, units of measure and more!

You Will Need:

1 oz Coconut Oil - Fractionated
1 oz Castor Oil
1 ml Vegetable Glycerin
2 ml Flavor Fragrance Oil

• We used 20 drops Pina Colada Flavor Fragrance in Blue and Natural
• We used 20 drops Banana Flavor Fragrance in Yellow
•  We used 20 drops Summer Berries Flavor Fragrance in Red

1 ml Oil Soluble, Lip-Safe Colorant

• We used  0.15 ml Mica Pigment Powder - Blue (Oil Soluble)
• We used 0.15 ml Mica Pigment Powder - Yellow (Oil Soluble)
• We used 0.15 ml Mica Pigment Powder - Red (Oil Soluble)

0.15 ml Sweetener Powder (optional)

• We used 0.15 ml Sweetener Powder (derived from white licorice root)

Tools you may need:

• Mini White Plastic Scoop - .15cc/.15ml
• Mini White Plastic Scoop - 1cc/1ml
• 4ml General Purpose Pipette
• Glass Roll-On Bottle - Recipe yields roughly 6 Roll-On's
• Dixie cups or glass ramekins
• Scissors

Combine all ingredients in a sterile Pyrex container. If you are using more than one flavor fragrance or color, you will need to separate your lip gloss base into individual mixing containers (dixie cups or glass ramekins are good choices). Once separated, add color and flavor of choice to each container and stir well to incorporate. Package in roll-on bottles using a pipette.
