idacandlelady Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Has anyone ever tried to make a scrub like the Mary Kay Satin Lips. I really want some but I would rather make my own, I'm just not sure where to start. Any ideas or suggestions would be very appreciated.

blazerina Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Do you have a tube to look on to kind of see if there is anything you can recreate yourself to get close- or if not let me know, I'll type off some things from my tube. Other than picking apart the ingredients, one of the things you will want to remember is that it is NOT moisturizing per sey ...it is made to dry just like a mask but is not thick at all...and made to definitely be followed by the second step which is the balm.

shutterbugg Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Maryann made a WONDERFUL lip scrub in one of my swaps awhile back!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsy Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I did this once. Mine was just a dry scrub that I packaged with a lip balm. I used adzuki beans, milk powder, honey powder and collagen. I loved it and so did the people I swapped with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idacandlelady Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 I Don't have any of the MK one. I have used it in the past, that's why I wanted to figure it out. I want someting like this, but want to make my own. If I could see the ingredients I might be able to get some idea where to start. If any of you would be interested in sharing a recipe or ideas on where to start I would be forever grateful. I know that is a lot to ask, and I understand if you don't want to.

Crafty1 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 i saw an exfoliating lip scrub posted on the dish a while ago.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I use both the Satin Lips balm and the Satin Lips Mask and love them. I am getting closer to duplicating the mask .. bentonite clay is the abrasive in it. However I can't decide on the packaging I may use for it.

maryann Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Jan that's interesting about the clay, do you know by any chance if its toxic? I say that mine is edible because more than likely you will swallow some if your a cluts like me!Thanks Leslie, I'm still trying to perfect it.

Scent Cellar Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Mary Ann, I don't know about the clay being toxic, just really didn't think much about it after I read it on the ingredients listing on the box. It is listed 2nd on the ingredients with aqua being the first so I assume it's one of the major components of the formula. I plan on finding out more about it from my DIL that sells MK products.

That's interesting that its the 2nd ingredient, it must be ok then to ingest. When I say that I don't mean on purpose, but when using I always get a little in my mouth.

maryann Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I just googled bentonite clay and found this and a few other sites saying the same thing http://www.herbalremedies.com/bentonite-clay.htmlSo I think its safe to say that you can ingest it. I actually thought I had read that people had put it in their tooth soap for "grit"/cleanning power but couldn't remember so didn't want to say for sure.

blazerina Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Looks like you found your answer maybe, but I will just add... the ingredients in the Mk mask also list flavor- that tells me they are well aware you will be tasting/ingesting it. Not that you would WANT to have a meal out of it, but you know! Also- I can't imagine that a mouth product would be able to be sold/made if it was toxic, but stranger things have happened!

There is a food grade bentonite that is much more user friendly and is even used in candy bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I did one last year...and couldn't handle the gritty in my mouth. I did it with melted lip balm & clay with additional honey to make it goopier than a balm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Oh that's a good point about the grittiness!My b clay is from MMS, I'll have to contact them and see if I can use it in lip scrub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
