Homemade Glitter Gel

This DIY glitter gel is made with all natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin.

A few weeks ago I shared a tutorial on how to make coconut oil lip gloss. I mentioned that my three-year old daughter loves to wear glitter gel. The ingredients in her glitter gel are completely unpronounceable! Definitely not something I want her to apply to her skin.

How to make homemade glitter gel

After doing some research I found that I could easily make her an all natural glitter gel with two ingredients, mica and pure aloe vera gel!

Mica is an all natural mineral powder used in mineral makeup. You can find it in many colors. I used mica powder. If you wanted a clear gel with specks of glitter you will want to buy white mica powder. You can also use all natural glitter to make this gel too! I was able to find mica at a local craft store.

You can purchase mica online if you can’t find it locally.

Once you have your ingredients, all you have to do is mix the aloe vera and mica together (being very careful not to inhale the mica), and voila! You’re done. This is easily one of the easiest homemade recipes I’ve ever made.
