Homemade Natural Mascara Recipe
This DIY natural mascara combines black mineral powder, bentonite clay, aloe vera, vegetable glycerin, and lavender essential oil for an amazing mascara.
Servings: 1 container
Equipment
- 1 Mascara tube
- Small spatula
- Medicine dropper (optional)
Ingredients
- ¼ tsp black mineral powder (use code wellnessmama for 50% off)
- ¼ tsp bentonite clay
- ⅛ tsp vegetable glycerine (4 drops)
- ¼ tsp aloe vera gel
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a very small bowl until completely smooth.
- Add more aloe vera gel if needed to get a smooth consistency.
- Carefully scoop into the medicine dropper with a spatula and slowly squirt into the mascara container or jar.
- Alternatively, you can add the ingredients directly to the mascara tube and mix them with the mascara bristles. This option takes a while to get the ingredients smooth inside the tube.
- Use as you would regular mascara.
- To remove, use a washcloth with warm water or use olive oil as a natural eye makeup remover.
Notes
- Dust lashes with arrowroot powder or organic cornstarch first to thicken and lengthen even more.
- This works with a lash curler but I’ve found it is better to curl first so they don’t clump.
