The benefit of natural and organic lip gloss is simple, what we apply to our lips is swallowed. Certainly, it makes sense to use great caution in what we put on our mouths. In addition to exposure from ingestion, the most common concerns when it comes to lip gloss is allergic reactions and carcinogenic ingredients, according to the authors of, "The Safe Shopper's Bible," David Steinman and Samuel Epstein, MD.
Artificial colors and dyes in lip gloss are the most common cause of allergic reaction. Watching theingredients and opting for allergy-free varieties of commercial cosmetics can remedy allergic reactions. The colors used to dye lip gloss their beautiful hues are the most common carcinogens found. Making your own organic lip gloss at home can ensure that only safe, natural colors are used and that there are no cancer-causing ingredients present.

How to Make Natural Lip Gloss
Lip-glosses
are made by heating up a few ingredients to thoroughly blend them. Use a
small, shallow glass bowl for heating. A microwave can be used, but it
is safer to use an oven, or a double boiler. If you are using a
microwave, set it for 30 seconds at a time and stir after each heating.
In an oven, or double boiler watch the lip gloss ingredients and stir
them at least every 3 minutes until they are melted.
After the lip gloss ingredients have melted and are well mixed, pour the lip gloss into the application container and allow it to cool before putting it on your lips. Small glass or metal containers work well for storing homemade lip-glosses. You can purchase glass bottle with rolling applicators and many natural health stores.
