Recipe 2:
Ingredients:
- Jojoba oil – 1 tablespoon
- Glycerin – 1 tablespoon
- Pure aloe vera gel – 1(1/2) tablespoons
- Candelilla wax – 3 tablespoons
- Emulsifying wax – 2 tablespoons
- Ozokerite wax – 2 tablespoons
- Stearic acid – 2 tablespoons
- Activated charcoal/cocoa powder – 2 tablespoons (other color grinds of your preference can also be used)

How-To:

- When all the ingredients come together, turn the heat off and add preservatives to the mixture while stirring it continuously.
- Pour it into the clean, empty mascara tube like the previous way.
Make sure you change the tube and wand every 4 to 6 months to avoid the growth of bacteria in your homemade mascara.
