Aloe + Hyaluronic Acid Lash Serum Recipe
No need for mascara this summer. These simple homemade lash conditioning serum recipes will leave your lashes lush and full.
Yield: 1 tube (10 ml)
Cost: $2
Equipment
- 10 ml clean mascara tube
- Cotton-tipped swabs
Materials
- .006 ounce hyaluronic acid powder all you need is a small pinch
- 0.17 ounce distilled water 1 teaspoon
- 0.08 ounce aloe vera gel ½ teaspoon
- 0.04 ounce sweet almond oil ¼ teaspoon
- 0.17 ounce glycerin 1 teaspoon
- Optional: a drop of vitamin E oil or argan oil for added nourishment
Instructions
- Combine the hyaluronic acid with cool water and swirl to dissolve. If needed, use a toothpick to break apart any bits of hyaluronic acid that don't seem to want to dissolve.
- Add the remaining ingredients.
- Replace lid and swirl again to combine. You want the mixture to be thick enough that it won't run into your eyes, but still thin enough to glide on. If needed, add more water until you reach your ideal consistency.
Notes
Use daily and you'll see improvement in 2–4 weeks.
It's best to make a fresh batch once a month. Halve the recipe if needed.
Tip: In general, hyaluronic acid is often used in cosmetic formulations at concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 2%. However, it's important to note that higher concentrations don't necessarily mean better results. When creating a homemade eyelash serum, it's best to start with a lower percentage of hyaluronic acid, such as around 0.1% to 0.5%, and then adjust based on your preferences.
