Cosmetic Recipe: "Midnight Sky" Glitter Eye Gel

Create a captivating, quick-drying glitter eye gel that's perfect for adding a touch of enchanting sparkle to your eye makeup, featuring Dazzling Blue Glitter.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, airtight containers for the gel) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Gel Base (Phase A): In a clean beaker, measure out the distilled water.
3. Disperse Xanthan Gum: In a separate small container, mix the xanthan gum with a small amount of glycerin to create a slurry. This prevents clumping when added to water.
4. Form Gel: Slowly add the xanthan gum/glycerin slurry to the distilled water while continuously stirring vigorously. Continue stirring until the xanthan gum is fully hydrated and a clear, uniform gel has formed (this may take several minutes).
5. Add Actives (Phase B): Once the gel base is smooth, add the Dazzling Blue Glitter and Panthenol. Stir very well to ensure the glitter is evenly dispersed throughout the gel. Since glitter is non-soluble, it will be suspended, and thorough mixing is key.
6. Add Preservative (Phase C): Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the gel mixture. Stir thoroughly for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure it's evenly distributed.
7. pH Adjustment (Optional but Recommended): Check the pH of your gel. For eye area products, a pH between 6.0 and 7.0 is generally ideal for skin compatibility and preservative efficacy. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking.
8. Final Transfer: Carefully transfer the finished glitter eye gel into a clean, airtight container with a secure lid or a small jar with a cap.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Dosing: For eye gels, a 5-10% inclusion rate of Dazzling Blue Glitter provides a stunning visual impact. You can adjust this for more subtle or dramatic effects.
• Mixing: Always ensure the glitter is thoroughly dispersed in the gel base. Since it's non-soluble, it will suspend rather than dissolve, and proper mixing prevents settling.
• Application: Apply a small amount of the glitter eye gel to eyelids, under the eyes, or along the lash line using a clean brush or fingertip. Start with a small amount and layer for more intensity.
• Adherence: The gel base should provide sufficient adherence for the glitter. For extra longevity, especially for active wear, apply over an eyeshadow primer.
• Removal: Remove gently with a makeup remover, being careful not to rub the glitter into the eyes.
• Storage: Store the finished glitter eye gel in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain product integrity and prevent drying out. Ensure the container is tightly sealed.
• Safety: Always use cosmetic-grade glitter for products applied to the skin, especially near the eyes. Our Dazzling Blue Glitter is formulated to be safe for such applications.
• Particle Size Awareness: The 0.02 micron size is incredibly fine, reducing the risk of irritation compared to coarser glitters, making it more comfortable for eye area use.
