ORGANIC KAJAL MAKING AT HOME

Making organic kajal at home can be a rewarding and natural way to create a cosmetic product. 

Here’s a simple method to make your own organic kajal:

Ingredients:

1. Ghee (Clarified Butter) – 2 tablespoons

2. Almond Oil or Coconut Oil – 1 tablespoon

3. Beetroot Powder or Activated Charcoal – 1-2 teaspoons (for color)

4. A small amount of Amla Powder (Indian Gooseberry) – 1/2 teaspoon (optional, for added benefits)

5. A small metal bowl or a deep pan for preparation

6. A small, clean container for storing the kajal

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Workspace:

   - Ensure your workspace and utensils are clean and dry to avoid contamination.

2. Heat the Ghee:

   - In a small metal bowl or deep pan, heat the ghee over a low flame. Be careful not to overheat it; just warm it enough so it’s easy to mix with other ingredients.

3. Add the Oil:

   - Add the almond oil or coconut oil to the warmed ghee. Mix well.

4. Add Colorants:

   - Gradually add the beetroot powder or activated charcoal to the mixture. Beetroot powder will give a reddish tint, while activated charcoal will give a black color. Adjust the quantity based on your color preference.

5. Add Amla Powder (Optional):

   - If you’re using amla powder, add it to the mixture. Amla powder is optional but can provide additional benefits for your eyes.

6. Stir and Heat:

   - Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients. Let it heat gently for a few minutes while stirring continuously. The mixture should become smooth and well-blended.

7. Cool and Store:

   - Once the mixture is well combined, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the warm kajal into a clean, airtight container.

8. Allow to Set:

   - Let the kajal cool completely and set before using it. This might take a few hours.

Tips:

- Patch Test: Before applying kajal to your eyes, do a patch test on your skin to ensure you’re not allergic to any of the ingredients.

- Hygiene: Always use clean utensils to avoid contamination.

- Storage: Store your kajal in a cool, dry place. It should last for several weeks if kept properly.

This homemade kajal is natural and free from harmful chemicals, but make sure to use it with care. Enjoy your organic kajal!
