various ingredients to make beauty products

Making homemade skincare products isn’t anything revolutionary. It has been a part of many cultures for centuries. So why go through all the trouble of making beauty products from scratch? Well, most commercial products are riddled with countless chemicals and ingredients that may be difficult to gauge.

Did you know that cosmetic products and ingredients do not need FDA premarket approval? It’s not easy to establish whether these ingredients are perfectly safe to use and ethically sourced.

Concocting your own beauty products allows you to control what goes on your skin. You can specifically avoid ingredients that have been associated with allergies, cancer, insomnia, hormonal disbalance, and other conditions. Moreover, skincare and beauty products from reputable brands are often astronomically priced.

If you are planning to formulate your own skincare or beauty products, there are a few important things to remember. Take a look.

Conduct In-Depth Research on Skincare Products

The world of cosmetics is fascinating and complicated. To create a product that works, you need to conduct extensive research to learn various processes and discover suitable ingredients.

Luckily, you have the internet at your disposal, where you can find plenty of literature on the subject. You can also consider signing up for a course to get started.

Avoid Contamination

Contamination is one of the top concerns when it comes to making products at home. The last thing you want to do is apply a soiled product full of harmful bacteria on your skin.

We suggest investing in measuring and transferring tools such as funnels, droppers, and spatulas. Also, make sure the containers are completely dry and properly sterilized before storing products.

Get High-Quality Cosmetics Containers

It’s imperative to choose the right containers for your products. While there is no harm in reusing old containers that you may have lying around, make sure you thoroughly clean and sterilize them.

That being said, sometimes, it can be impossible to get rid of the traces or smell of old products. To be on the safer side, it would be better to get brand new containers. Instead of open-mouth jars, we recommend going for hands-free containers like dispensing bottles and lip gloss bottles.

Prevent Exposure to Light

Direct sunlight, along with other factors such as moisture and heat, can accelerate bacterial growth. Prevent your products from perishing by storing them in a high-quality container and dark rooms.

Start Small

When you’re just starting, it’s better to produce small quantities. During the initial stage, you may not be sure about the shelf life of the product. Therefore, minimize wastage by starting small.

Don’t Guess Measurements

Formulating skincare or beauty products is more of a science than art. If you guess measurements, you’ll end up with a useless product that has a strange consistency. That’s why it’s imperative to measure your ingredients accurately.

Pay Attention to Smells

If one of your concoctions is giving off a foul smell, there is a good chance that something went wrong. Rather than risking your skin and health, it would be best to throw it out and start fresh.

Use Natural Preservatives

Not to state the obvious, but most natural ingredients don’t have an infinite shelf life. In most cases, it’s not possible to keep the products last without preservatives, especially if they contain water.

You should look into natural preservatives to protect your homemade products from contamination.

Wrapping Up

Making skincare products can be tricky but incredibly rewarding. Your homemade skincare and beauty products also hold the potential to turn into a successful business. We hope the tips above will help you create safe and high-quality products.

What are your favorite natural ingredients for skin care?

    I have never thought about making my own beauty products before, but this is great advice! I think this is something that my makeup/beauty product loving daughter would enjoy doing.
