Instructions:

  • Measure out your clay into a small beaker
    12 grams Bentonite Clay
    Bentonite clay is measured in a beaker
  • Add the activated charcoal to the clay and mix well
    2.7 grams Activated Charcoal Powder
    Activated charcoal is added to the mixture
  • Next, it's time to add your glycerine, a bit at a time, mixing together until thoroughly combined. You may have to add a little more or a little less glycerine to get the texture right. I started by adding around 10g and built it up to 20g
    20 grams Glycerine
    Glycerine is added to the mixture
  • Add the preservative and mix once again, making sure that the preservative is fully dispersed throughout.
    Then, put the mixture into a little container. As I mentioned before you could put this into an empty mascara bottle but it's a messy and difficult process.
    The easiest way to transfer it was with a small syringe. I had read that if you put the mascara into a plastic bag and cut the corner off, it could be squeezed into the mascara tube.
    This didn't work well for me and I lost a good 50% of it just trying. Once you have transferred your mascara into its final container it is now ready to use.
    0.3 grams Preservative, 1 Cosmetic Jar 2 oz
