Simple Lip Gloss Formula with Fragrance

Here is a basic formula and production method for creating lip gloss using a ready-made base and adding fragrance.

Ingredients:

  • Lip Gloss Base: You can use a product like Liquid Lip Gloss Coating (Shine Filler, Low Viscosity) or Liquid Lip Gloss Coating (Shine Filler, High Viscosity). These are designed to be used at 100% as the base.
  • Fragrance: Choose a fragrance oil, such as Rose Petal or Jasmine Fragrance Oil.

Recommended Proportions:

  • Lip Gloss Base: 99 - 99.5%
  • Fragrance Oil: 0.5 - 1%

  • Note: The recommended usage rate for fragrance in lip products is typically low (around 0.5-1%) to avoid irritation.*

Production Steps:

  1. Measure: Carefully measure the desired amount of Lip Gloss Base and fragrance oil according to your chosen proportions.
  2. Combine: Add the fragrance oil to the Lip Gloss Base.
  3. Mix: Stir or gently mix the ingredients together until the fragrance is evenly distributed throughout the base. Avoid vigorous mixing that could introduce air bubbles.
  4. Package: Carefully transfer the finished lip gloss into appropriate lip gloss tubes or containers.

Important Considerations:

  • The Liquid Lip Gloss Coating bases found are described as being insoluble in oil. This means that oil-based fragrance oils like Rose Petal or Jasmine Fragrance Oil may not fully dissolve or mix smoothly into these specific bases. You may need to test a small batch first to see if the fragrance integrates well or separates.
  • If you find that the fragrance does not mix properly, you might need to seek a lip gloss base that is compatible with oil-based ingredients, or use a fragrance specifically designed for challenging bases.
  • Always perform a small test batch before making a large quantity.
  • Ensure all your equipment and containers are clean and sanitized.

This simple method is a good starting point for beginners.
