But I know that the first lip gloss was made by max factor in 1930. He also invented lipstick and the mascara wand. His purpose for the lip gloss was so that the lips of actresses in films would be shiny and standing out. Hope I helped.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lip Gloss Post by Cyinda (838) | (05/15/2007) Profile | Contact Here's a whole BUNCH of lip balm & lip gloss recipes... some are harder than others, some have more ingredients than others ... but have fun choosing, I'd suggest first following one of the below recipes, then after you have it down pat... make up your own... The trick being that some waxes & oils are harder than others... say for example if you needed to thin a mixture down, you'd use olive oil, to thicken & harden up a bit, use bees wax or palm oil... Coconut oil turns to liquid around 80 degrees... so it melts in the sun... Here's a SUPER EASY way to make lip balm: http://parentingteens.about.com/cs/recipesforkids/l/blkidscookt78.htm All you need is: 1 Tablespoon Petroleum Jelly 1 Tablespoon Aloe Vera Gel 1 1/2 teaspoons Coconut Oil 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heres another lip balm recipe: http://altmedicine.allinfo-about.com/howto/lipgloss.html all you need are these ingredients & a few tools 2 tablespoons coconut oil 1 tablespoon cocoa butter 2 teaspoons beeswax 10-20 drops jojoba oil Optional - drops of honey or flavoring or vitamin E oil ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This one is my favorite, it's from the DIY show "Creative Juice" http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/cr_ba ... cle/0,2025,DIY_13744_5297905,00.html Materials: 2 tsp. beeswax 2 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. oil (grape seed, olive, avocado or hemp) 1 tsp. honey vitamin E capsule essential oil or cake flavorings lip balm containers disposable plastic pipettes packing tape optional: old lipstick & lip balm filling tray ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a recipe for lipgloss where you only need the microwave and an old stick of lipstick: http://www.goodnuke.com/recipes/lipgloss.htm Larger amounts may be made, but heat gently to soften only. Also, any flavor of candy oil may be used for taste. For example...chocolate or peppermint. Place in a small unique container and it makes a wonderful gift. A brighter color may be achieved by adding a bit more lipstick. 2 tablespoons petroleum jelly 1/4 teaspoon lipstick, any color 4 drops cinnamon oil Place petroleum jelly in small microwave container. Top with lipstick. Microwave for 20-30 seconds on High power (100%), or until mixture has softened. Blend well. Mix in cinnamon. Store in small container.

I am simply providing the ingredients, so you can decide at a glance what recipe you may want to try... Some recipes are for lip-BALM, some are for lip-GLOSS.... (the difference being, lip-BALM is supposed to HEAL the lips & lip-GLOSS is just to make the lips shiny with color & gloss & balm may both taste good too.... *** But please go to the URL's to get the FULL & complete directions! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Making A salve is almost like making lip balm: ---> When I make a healing salve, I take the ingredients: Olive oil, bees wax, & the healing herbs I choose to use (like calendula for example) & bake it in a Pyrex glass bowl with a lid in a low oven of about 200 deg. for about 4 hours or so... then strain off the herbs, add several capsules of vitamin E to the partially cooled mix... Then finally add about a tea spoon of "Tincture of Benzoin" & stir in... The tincture of Benzoin is a natural way to preserve the herbal healing salve. Stir everything well & pour into small jars. *** You wouldn't need to bake your ingredients for that long (I only do it to get the goodies from the herbs I use)... but as long as you use a glass or an enamel pot (with no holes or scratches in the enamel) & cover it tightly... you can make the whole thing up in the oven at a low temp... ---> Have someone you trust take it from the oven while it's warm (NOT HOT) as it's VERY dangerous while hot & can burn you very BADLY! Then stir, & add a bit of Vitamin E if you like & a few drops of your favorite flavor of essential oil... (I like orange or lemon)... then just stir & pour into small containers. ---> Keep the extras in the fridge for longer shelf life & keep out of the sun!

(184) | (02/27/2005) Contact Those two things don't seem to relate, right? Well unfortunately they are tightly bonded. Until very recently, I'm talking a couple years tops and some still do this, major cosmetic companies purchased whale blubber from the fisherman who hunted them. What for? They would strained the fat and use it as the moisturizing and solidying ingredient in lip products. So you and I were rubbing a dead animals fat on our mouths. SICK! Put that in your project. And make sure you only buy products that are animal product and testing free. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Lip Gloss Post By Kelly (Guest Post) (02/27/2005) Check into the ingredients in several big name lipglosses. For example... Carmex, which a lot of people use, contains salycilic acid which is actually a drying agent, so it actually dries out your lips which just makes you use more. You can do a poll to find out what the favorite lipgloss is (collect data). I agree with what has been said about the scientific process. What exactly are you trying to find out about lipgloss??? What is the point you are trying to make with your presentation??? Keep those things in mind and you will do great.

I just wanted to remind you that to win a science fair, you have to go beyond presenting information and do an experiment. Presenting background information is only a small part of a winning science fair project. Make sure you listen carefully when your science teacher explains the scientific method. He or she should tell you about forming a hypothesis, performing the experiment with a control group and an experimental group, recording results, and forming a conclusion. It is great that you are looking for information about lip gloss, but the REALLY important thing to be looking for is an EXPERIMENT to do involving lip gloss. I am a high school math and chemistry teacher, and I won awards at 2 science fairs in middle school-- trust me on this. Good luck! Oh wait... maybe this will help-- I use lip gloss on my knuckles when they get really dry and my skin cracks in the winter... and inside my nose, too. I know that's gross, but it helps when the air in the house is very dry due to cold weather and my nose hurts! Report Spam or Abuse
