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)

8. When all the ingredients come together, turn the heat off and add preservatives to the mixture while stirring it continuously.
9. 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.
