Daughters are obsessed with all the things that mommies use! Girls keep begging for the lipsticks and makeup items we use. Don’t you think it is time we make lip gloss for kids?
It is easy to make an easy homemade lip gloss suitable for kids use. We are going to speak about one of the easiest DIY lip gloss for kids which they could make themselves too.
How do You Make Homemade Lip Gloss For Kids?
Keeping the ingredients natural helps your skin to keep healthy too. Thus, making a safe lip gloss for kids or lip balm which could be applied to the toddlers and babies too would be great. Kids usually lick off the balm from their lips and many times consume it. Thus, having a toxin-free homemade lip gloss with real fruits or flavor is important.
The greatest thing about making children’s lip gloss or balm would be to tailor your ingredients as per your need. Has it infused with coconut oil for the healing purpose so that your kids could use them when they have chapped or dry lips in winter?
Not only does making your own homemade lip gloss for kids help in using food-grade material and have fun with the colors and flavors of the natural lip gloss, but also keep the costs low. While adding dye or food color to Vaseline could be an option but for the younger kids, you must be assured the material you use is safe. Look at the all-natural lip gloss recipe below:
1. Coconut Oil and Drink Powder Lip Gloss:
Material Required:
- Coconut oil
- Almond oil
- Flavored drink powders (for example pink lemonade, cherry, grape or watermelon)

Coconut oil also offers the SPF 15 protection along with additive moisture from the almond oil content in the ingredients. Although almond oil could be a bit pricey and you can as well leave it out.
Instructions to Make:
- Mix 3 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add 1 tablespoon almond oil for texture. (You can add beeswax to the mixture if you are looking for a solid texture)
- Add 1 small pack of crystal drinking powder in the container and mix. Mix it well in order to not leave any lumps. (You can experiment by mixing different drinking crystals for the desired color and flavor)
