Lava lamp lip gloss is fun, nourishing to your lips, and it makes them oh so soft! I love this recipe because not only is it a fun gift the ingredients are all natural!
My daughter and I like to make homemade Christmas gifts, this is one of the gifts we gave out last year. BTW it would also make a great Valentine’s Day gift!
RECIPE
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons Castor Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Glycerin
- Pigment 1/8 to ¼ teaspoon mica or eye shadow (do not use glitter, as you don’t want anyone to ingest it. Most kids will lick it off their lips)
- 2 drops of essential oil… I used “Skin So Soft” by Plant Therapy its kid Safe
- Clear glass rollerball bottles
Directions
- Mix the glycerin, mica and essential oil together until there are no lumps
- Put it in the glass lip gloss bottle, and fill the rest of the bottle with castor oil leaving about ¼ inch to accommodate the roller ball.

Would it be possible to use almond oil instead of castor?
Hello, Thank you for reading and reaching out. Yes you can substitute Almond Oil 🙂
Magnificent items from you! You’re making it enjoyable and you continue to care for to keep it wise.
I can’t wait to read much more from you. This is actually a great web site.
Thank you for reading! I’m glad your enjoying my blog 🙂
I love this recipe I made it for my mother, wife and daughters for Mother’s Day! They all said they love it!
I’m so glad they loved the lip gloss! Thank you for sharing with me 🙂
I want to try to do a neon colored lava lamp lip gloss 🙂
Oh, awesome that sounds like so much fun!
I have a fun assortment of colored eye shadow, this would be perfect to make this homemade lip gloss!
Yes they would be perfect pigments!
Wow! This is awesome I can’t wait to make this with my kids!
Hi Julie, They will love it!
Makes me want to get my lava lamp out!
Groovy! Get that lava lamp out! 🙂
I know someone else mentioned using almond oil instead of castor, I wonder if there are any other oils that can be used instead too.. this looks so fun and we are home all the time and need more DIY fun projects, we can’t get enough of them haha.
Yes I’m sure there are other oils that can be used! Please let me know if you experiment!
does the essential oil play as flavoring ?
Yes Ashley, Thank you for commenting… The essential oil does add flavor and scent, I mainly added it for the wonderful healing & nourishing properties!
We made this and my 3 daughters had a blast. We did a red, pink and a coral pink. My girls are crazy about makeup, I bet they will be putting it on as early as possible when they get in their teens haha.
Thank you for commenting! I love that your daughters had a blast making it, those colors they picked sound lovely <3
Oh my gosh it really does look just like a lava lamp. I love lip gloss too haha, perfect.
It is perfect, and so nourishing!
I wonder if you could make an etsy business out of this. I’ve been wanting to make some sort of product to sell on there, they have the most interesting thing.
I have not sold on etsy myself. I do wish you much success in whatever you try to create and sell 🙂
