Recipe: Luminous & Hydrating Lip Gloss with Versagel® ME 750

Create a stunning, high-shine lip gloss that feels comfortable and nourishing on the lips, featuring the exceptional properties of Versagel® ME 750.

Ingredients:

• Versagel® ME 750: 85% - The primary base for gloss, providing shine, stability, and a non-greasy feel.

• Fractionated Coconut Oil: 10% - A lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that adds extra slip and moisturization without feeling heavy.

• Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate): 1% - An antioxidant that protects the oils from oxidation and provides nourishing benefits to the lips.

• Flavor Oil (Lip Safe): 3% - Adds a delicious scent and taste to the lip gloss. Choose a lip-safe flavor.

• Lip Pigment/Mica Powder (optional): 1% - For color and shimmer, adjust to desired intensity.

Instructions:

1. Sanitize Everything: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment, containers, and packaging using isopropyl alcohol. Allow them to air dry completely.

2. Combine Versagel® and Oils: In a clean, dry bowl, add the Versagel® ME 750 and fractionated coconut oil.

3. Mix Thoroughly: Using a spatula or a small whisk, thoroughly mix the Versagel® ME 750 and fractionated coconut oil until completely combined and smooth. This may take a few minutes as the gel is viscous. Ensure there are no lumps or unmixed portions.

4. Add Actives and Flavor: Incorporate the Vitamin E and lip-safe flavor oil into the mixture. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

5. Add Color (Optional): If using lip pigment or mica powder, slowly add it to the mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve your desired color and no streaks remain. For best results with powders, you may pre-disperse them in a small amount of the fractionated coconut oil before adding to the main batch.

6. Package: Carefully transfer the finished lip gloss into clean, sanitized lip gloss tubes or pots. A syringe or piping bag can be helpful for easy filling.

Recommendations for Use:

• Dosage of Versagel® ME 750: This recipe uses 85% Versagel® ME 750, which is typical for a high-shine, non-sticky lip gloss. You can adjust the percentage within the recommended range of up to 90% for lip glosses based on your desired viscosity and feel.

• Mixing: Due to its viscous nature, ensure thorough mixing to fully incorporate all ingredients. A stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a robust hand mixer can be beneficial for larger batches.

• Compatibility: Versagel® ME 750 is highly compatible with a wide range of oils, esters, and fragrances. Always perform a small test batch to check for compatibility with specific raw materials.

• Storage: Store the finished lip gloss in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain its clarity and stability.

• Applications: This base recipe can be customized to create various lip products, including tinted glosses, clear plumping glosses (with appropriate actives), or even solid lip balms by increasing the wax content if desired.

• Shelf Life: The shelf life of your finished product will largely depend on the shelf life of your individual ingredients. Using fresh, stable oils and Vitamin E helps extend product longevity.
