  • Making natural lip gloss more sticky

    Posted by Anonymous on July 12, 2020 at 11:30 pm

    I have been trying to formulate the right all natural lip gloss for awhile now.

    I’ve been using cera bellina, shea butter, castor oil and jojoba oil. It feels nice but very thin and slippery. I’d like to make something to thicken an add some stick so it wont run off the lips. Ive considered using cetyl esters? Any other natural suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Add a polymeric film-former (best) or add lanolin itself (why use a substitute?) to extend into a film.
