Activated Charcoal and Jojoba Oil Eyeliner
Ingredients:
- Activated Charcoal
- Jojoba Oil (a few drops)
- Water (optional)
Directions:
- With a thin brush, dip brush into mix and apply to eyes.
- Clean brush after to avoid buildup with Coconut oil (or Olive, Avocado etc.)
- You have the option of adding water or adding more Jojoba oil depending on what texture you like. I ended up adding more Jojoba oil to my mix. This eyeliner is great for blending in a smokey eye.
A few people asked me if Activated Charcoal was safe to put on your eyes. I think they heard the word “Charcoal” and immediately thought of Charcoal from a fire. Charcoal and activated charcoal are different. Activated charcoal means the carbon is infused with oxygen and is prepared for human ingestion and skincare products
I got this into my eyes because I did not dilute the charcoal enough with jojoba oil. I had the same reaction (tearing) as if I got a store bought mascara/eyeliner into my eye. To avoid this, make sure you have enough jojoba oil or water mixed in the the charcoal on your brush where it the charcoal powder is not loose.
