DIY mascara - natural, vegan and zero waste

[@roanne9769]

How long is the shelf life?

[@ariverdreaming]

Isn’t it a little sketchy using pure tea tree oil on something going on your eyes? It’s such a strong minty oil I feel like it would really hurt if any of it got in

[@Lichtkristall]

I would not use it either. If you get that in your eyes, it is bad

[@cynthiapyzdrowski3621]

Thank you

Nice idea, but do KZbinrs actually use their zero-waste homemade products regularly? I wonder. Isn't it better if KZbinrs to start a petition to push the major cosmetic companies to mass-produce the mascara with the right formula in glass bottles or push them to incorporate recycling scheme? Why is this issue left to each consumer to take zero-waste responsibilities? Cosmetic companies have all the knowledge, technologies and machinery, and they can do it better.

I'd like to make a purple mascara. I'm also wondering if I could put it in a covered container to make it easier than putting it in a mascara tube.

[@natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769]

Flyingmartini Hurricane Use Purple Brazilian Clay, you can But it would make it hard to load the brush - you can use a Syringe to fill, or follow this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGa3ko1pebqFeKs

[@AdrianClement]

I like this! im going to try using a childrens medicine dispenser syringe to fill the tube maybe.

I would really like to try making my own mascara or even buying one off Etsy first before investing in all the ingredients, however I read on one of the ZW fb groups I'm in that activated charcoal shouldn't go near your eyes. Do you know anything about this? Or have you read anything about the safety of it? xx

[@NaturallyNomadic]

Amy Hamilton I’ve never heard this before but on a quick google search I’ve only come across one blog post which says it shouldn’t be used near eyes in case of irritation risk. I guess if there’s no irritation (I’ve got way less irritation and eye problems using this recipe than any shop bought mascara) then it should be ok? But if you’re worried I’d look into it more before trying. Thanks for bringing it up though :)

[@aeroyulunga]

I would use instead of it: kajal or at least burnt almonds :) Trying to chose only natural mascaras from the grocery as well, Cherish mascara with vitamins seems cool :)

[@natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769]

Amy Hamilton Activated Charcoal is Safe to use near your eyes. But Tea tree isn’t, no essential oil is. Recipe here -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGa3ko1pebqFeKs Ecosoya Q210 is the only Soy Wax Dermatology Tested Safe for All Skin Types + to use in Skincare.

[@its_sarandipity]

Does it go bad after a while? Or grow bscteria/mould?

[@salmasalute]

Not if u use aloe vers with preservatives and alsobtea tree oilbwhich i dont understand how she can use it near the eyes the essential oil of tree burns the lashes in this quantity

[@arianab252]

Tea tree in mascara? Girl......

[@NaturallyNomadic]

You don't have to use it but it's a great antiseptic :)

[@natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769]

Don’t add Essential Oils To eye Products

[@strxwberrymilk7429]

Umm this didn’t work

[@annturner8327]

This was my concern as well. What if u get the mascara in your eye..yikes!!! Wouldn't it burn?

[@salmasalute]

Exactly. She will with time burn her eye lashes.. its alsobextremely dangerous if it comes in xontact with the eyes and its dsngerous to follow this recipe.. twobtonthree drops for only this much aloe vera AND in a mascara? This is nuts. Its not optional miss its a NO NO. Esential oils should not be used in this way.

[@Lichtkristall]

You can take a syringe to fill it. Works well

[@annacichocka7734]

Fantastic!!! but I think tea tree oil would tear up my eyes. Tea tree oil is almost similar to eucalyptus oil which has a minty-like effect, maybe one drop would be plenty since essential oils are very much concentrated.

[@equidregykfr3523]

Is it waterproof?

[@cheer_life2232]

check 0:44 timeline.

[@NaturallyNomadic]

It's not waterproof but it doesn't smudge :)
