Ingredients for DIY Eyebrow Gel and Cream Blush

Here are some ingredient suggestions for making your own waterproof eyebrow gel and long-lasting cream blush:

Waterproof Eyebrow Gel

To make a waterproof and sweatproof eyebrow gel, you will need a gelling agent and a film former. The gelling agent creates the gel texture, while the film former provides hold and water resistance.

• Gelling Agent: You can use a water-based gelling agent like AnyGel™ or Sepimax Zen to create the gel base. Alternatively, you could start with a pre-made base like Mascara Base (For Nylon Brush, Clear, Colorless) and add other ingredients.
• Film Former: To make it waterproof and long-lasting, add a film former. Options include Syntran 5778, Polyacrylate-21 (Water Base, Gloss & Flexible), or Allianz OPT. For an oil-based or emulsion system, Silicone Film (Soft Film, Low Viscosity, Isododecane Base) is a good choice for waterproofing.
• Color: Add cosmetic-grade pigments suitable for eye area use to achieve the desired eyebrow color.

Long-Lasting Cream Blush

For a long-lasting cream blush, you will need a base (which can be a cream or emulsion) and ingredients that help the color adhere and last on the skin.

• Base: Choose a cream or emulsion base suitable for cosmetic use.
• Film Former/Longevity Agent: Ingredients like Syntran 5778, Silicone Film (Soft Film, Low Viscosity, Isododecane Base), or Allianz OPT can help the blush adhere better and last longer on the skin.
• Color: Use cosmetic-grade pigments to get the desired blush color. Some colorants, like the type used in Caramel Color HiStain™, are designed for better skin adhesion and longevity.

Remember to follow proper cosmetic formulation practices, including preservation, when creating your products.
