1 candy melt
1 drop essential oil (eucalyptus, peppermint, clove, etc.)
Color
Additional color can be added using:
• Beet juice
• Food coloring
• Eye shadow (liquid or powder)
• Ultrafine glitter dust
• Melted lipstick chips
• Melted crayon shavings (1 tsp)
Select container
Containers can be purchased at craft or beauty supply stores. Alternative containers include 35 mm film containers, contact lense cases, empty eye shadow boxes, pillboxes (recommended when making many different lip glosses), or small spice jars. All containers should be sterilized before use.
Mix
Put all ingredients in a plastic bag or microwave safe bowl. Place bag in warm water until contents have melted and mixed thoroughly. Microwave ingredients for 30 seconds, stir. Snip corner of bag and squeeze contents into container. Pour contents of microwave safe bowl into selected container. Allow lip gloss to cool for 20 minutes. Refrigerate.
