Description

This DIY mascara combines the power of natural pigmentation, lash-conditioning oils, and mineral-rich clay to create a clean, non-toxic formula that thickens, lengthens, and supports lash growth. Activated charcoal gives deep color, castor oil and glycerine nourish, while bentonite clay boosts volume and grip. Beeswax locks it in place, and lavender oil soothes and naturally preserves. Ideal for sensitive eyes and a cleaner beauty routine—no veg oil, no corn oil.

Ingredients

  • 1 Teaspoon of Coconut Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon of Organic Beeswax Pellets
  • 1 Teaspoon of Castor Oil (Cold Pressed, Hexane Free)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Activated Charcoal
  • 1/4 Teaspoon of Bentonite Clay
  • 1/8 Teaspoon of Vegetable Glycerin
  • 1 Drop of Vitamin E Oil
  • 5 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil

Equipment

  • Heatproof Bowl or Double Boiler
  • Toothpick
  • Empty Mascara Tube
  • Measuring Spoons

Instructions

  • In a double boiler, gently melt coconut oil and beeswax. Stir until completely liquefied.
  • Add castor oil and mix well.
  • Remove from heat and immediately stir in activated charcoal, bentonite clay, and glycerin until fully blended and smooth.
  • Mix in the Aloe Vera Gel or Vitamin E and lavender oil. Stir until uniform.
  • Using the clean mascara wand, carefully transfer into a clean mascara tube.
  • Let it cool completely before use.

Notes

  • Mix charcoal and clay well to avoid clumps.
  • Roll or shake mascara before use for even consistency.
  • Apply 2 light coats for fuller lashes, letting each dry briefly.
  • Clean applicator regularly to avoid contamination.
  • If mascara thickens over time, add a drop of distilled water or aloe vera gel and mix gently.
    Phase-Friendly: Ideal for the luteal phase and menstrual phase due to castor oil (hormone-supportive), lavender (calming), and bentonite clay (cleansing and detoxifying)—supportive when your body is more sensitive.   Seasonal Suitability: Best during fall and winter when lashes benefit from added hydration and protection from dryness and environmental stress.   Shelf Life: Up to 3 months stored in a cool, dry place. Check for changes in scent or texture. Do not add water directly to the tube, as this shortens shelf life.
