  Making a Base for Eye / Lip liner

  Posted by redxcap on June 3, 2017 at 7:38 pm

  I have seen only one pre made eye liner base and it was from TKB Trading based on a formula from another book. I was wondering if it were plausible to make a colorless base that could be done up in such a manner to allow for the addition of pigments after the fact similar to a melt and pour type of scenario.

  The formulas I was considering using make 50g each. Both are from a book written by Karin Bombeli. (making cosmetics). In the first formula phase a is the waxes and oils and phase b is the colorants with the addition of Vitamin E tocopherol. The second formula is 3 phase and is the one I am unsure of.

  It is as follows:
  Phase A:
  Stearic Acid 
  Polyisobutene-800
  Cetyl Alcohol 

  Phase B
  Iron Oxide

  Phase C
  Polyglyceryl Oleate
  Vitamin E tocopherol
  Pro Vitamin B5

  I’ve been trying to figure this particular issue out for about a week and have searched google and related patents. I am unsure whether it is even possible with both formulations but I am curious. The premise behind this being I want to be able to create multiple colors without making multiple batches. I have doubts that it is as simple as taking the known quantity (10 - 15 pencils) making the base and dividing the % colorants to determine the amount needed for singles. I know doing so makes it likely to affect batch consistency.

  I have also looked at just buying a premade base and continuing on that route but options are surprisingly very slim. I also don’t see a  discernable preservative is it unnecessary with this formula? Thanks in Advance.
