Skin cosmetics recipes DIY

Face powder, body powder, rouge, lipstick & more...

Although the use of cosmetics dates back several thousand years, the intensive use by almost everyone dates back to the post-war period. The number of preparations that come on the market is innumerable. In many cases, the so-called new preparations consist of old known substances, the packaging and the name are then the only new ones.

Almost all cosmetics have one characteristic in common, the price is extremely high in relation to the cost of the material. This is partly caused by the high advertising costs, partly by the opinion of the buying public that cheap preparations are no good.

Important
The right choice of raw materials is of the utmost importance. The talcum used must not only be extremely fine, but also sufficiently smooth, must not contain soluble substances and must be light. The price of the end product determines the requirements that can be made of the talcum.

Powder (to be used after having a bath)

*Recipe (early 1900's)*
Talcum	85 dl
Magnesium carbonate	7 dl
Zinc stearate	7 dl
Boric acid	1 dl

The zinc stearate is used to make the powder adhere better and to make the powder softer. The boric acid serves as an antiseptic and can be replaced by other substances such as methyl parahydroxybenzoic acid, tertiary chlorobutanol, chloro metaxylol and others. For this purpose, the latter substances are dissolved in the perfume, possibly with the addition of a little alcohol.

The magnesium carbonate makes the powder light and fluffy. The zinc stearate can be replaced by magnesium stearate, the magnesium carbonate optionally by precipitated chalk.

The dry substances are mixed in a closed mixing device, the perfume is pre-mixed with the twenty-fold amount of the powder and rubbed through a fine sieve. After this, this mixture is added to the entire amount of powder and the entire mass is sieved through a sieve. The more expensive the powder, the finer the sieve.

Pigments

For above and other recipes
The necessary color still needs to be added to these three recipes. Pigments are generally used for this purpose, which must of course be absolutely harmless to the skin.

When buying material for this, it must therefore always be pointed out that the dye comes into contact with human skin. In general, one uses for coloring: ochre, yellow and burnt, burnt sienna and ombra, ultramarine blue, further lacquer dyes such as geranium red, persian orange, possibly a green lacquer. The pigments are first mixed well with 4 to 9 times the amount of talcum and then enough of this mixture is added to the powder that the desired hiding power is achieved. The correct amount must be determined by trial and error.

Mixing is done exactly as with the dusting powders. The finest varieties are mixed in a ball mill and, after adding perfume, sieved through a silk gauze.

The indicated recipes can be changed according to personal needs. It should be remembered that the added kaolin not only smoothes, but also absorbs sweat. The magnesium carbonate makes the powder light and retains the perfume. The zinc oxide and the often used titanium white make the powder opaque. Zinc and magnesium stearate make the powder adhere to the skin.

Chanel cosmetics

Rouge

Dry rouge was originally made by mixing talcum and carmine with tragacanth slime and letting the doughy mixture dry in small containers. Later, larger pieces were made and machined, for example, on the lathe to the desired shape. Today, the almost dry mixture is immediately pressed into shape.

A simple rouge consists of:

Talcum	40 dl
Kaolin	35 dl
Zinc oxide	15 dl
Precipitated chalk	10 dl

This mixture is mixed with a sufficient amount of pigment and then ground in a ball mill for several hours. The powder is then sieved through a fine silk gauze and mixed with a solution of 0.2 dl tragacanth in 4 dl water. The powder should be only slightly moist and then rubbed through a fine sieve.

After this, the material is pressed into pieces of the desired shape using a press. The metal mold is coated with a ½ pct tragacanth solution before pressing. One must be very careful with the amount of tragacanth solution that is mixed with the powder. The correct amount must be determined by small experiments, as it depends to a large extent on the material used. The same is the case with the pigments used, the hiding power of which is very different. In general, 10 to 20% is sufficient. The best species are taken for this and then a little less. In addition, one should always desire types that are absolutely harmless to the skin.

Lotions

Recipes (early 1900's)

The various flower extracts and distillates, as well as certain fruit juices, have a very beneficial effect on the skin. They disinfect, astringent, deodorize and stimulate the skin, all without causing any damage. The good lotions therefore consist of mixtures of these juices and aqueous solutions with about 10% alcohol, sometimes also small amounts of salicylic acid to prevent spoilage.

Cold creams

Recipes (early 1900's)

Although the cold creams always react slightly alkaline, they are still used in very large quantities and form the main component of everything that is applied to the skin. A cold cream is basically an emulsion of fats in water. The fat here is so finely distributed in water with the help of an emulsifier that the fat droplets float. Due to the fine distribution, the fat penetrates very easily into the skin and when the cream serves to supplement a shortage of fat in the skin, the fat can be absorbed very quickly. With the creams that serve more to cleanse the skin pores, the mineral fat can, as it were, rinse out the pores.

A simple prescription for a cold cream is:

Paraffin oil	4000 dl
Beeswax	800 dl

The mixture is heated to 70℃. In addition, 45 dl borax is dissolved in 2500 dl water and the solution is heated to 70℃. The borax solution is now poured into the wash solution while stirring well. After cooling to about 50℃, the perfume is added.

In this recipe, the paraffin oil can be replaced in whole or in part by vegetable oils. In this case, a preservative must be added. The beeswax can be replaced up to half by paraffin, ceresin, ozokerite or spermaceti. Furthermore, for example, a small amount of lanolin can be added.

Cold-cream

*Recipe no. 1.*
Spermaceti	125 dl
Bleached wax	120 dl
Vaseline oil	560 dl
Borax	5 dl
Distilled water	190 dl
Perfume, e.g. synthetic rose oil

The fats are melted and the borax dissolved in hot water. The warm borax solution is slowly added to the melted fat mass, stirring well. As soon as the mass starts to curdle, add the rose oil.

*Recipe no. 2.*
Beewax	540 dl
Spermaceti	300 dl
Paraffin oil	1730 dl
Stearin	430 dl
Water	720 dl
Borax	100 dl
Sodium Benzoate	10 dl
Perfume at will

Borax and sodium benzoate are dissolved in boiling water and poured into the warm melted fat mass. Stir slowly during cooling.

Cleansing cream

While in the previous creams borax was used as an emulsifier in combination with washing, with the aid of triethanolamine soaps excellent and very long-lasting creams can be manufactured.

*Recipe (1936)*
Paraffin oil	78 dl
Bleached wax	5 dl
Spermaceti	28 dl
Tiethanolamine stearate	20 dl

These are melted together and slowly poured into a hot solution of 4 dl glycerin in 92 dl water. By stirring well, the two solutions soon unite into a thick cream. When the cream is well bound, add the desired amount of perfume. The next day the cream is stirred again and packaged. This cream has no tendency to exude water and remains unchanged even in hot summer weather.

Non greasy cold cream

A third type of cold cream contains glycol stearate or glycerine monostearate as an emulsifier. These creams evaporate very quickly, are more soluble in water than the previous types and cause a clear cooling of the skin due to the high water content. These creams must be packed airtight, otherwise they have a tendency to separate water.

*Recipe (1936)*
Glycol distearate	22 dl
Vaseline	16 dl
Paraffin	12 dl
Paraffin oil	30 dl
Water	100 dl

The fats are first melted and poured into the water heated to 77℃ with good stirring at a temperature of 77℃. The cream must then remain warm for a while to allow the trapped air to escape. After this, the perfume is added and at 40 to 50℃ the cream is poured into the bottles.

Neutral cleansing cream

*Recipe (1936)*
Paraffin oil	80 dl
Spermaceti	30 dl
Glycerin monostearate	24 dl
Water	90 dl
Glycerin	10 dl
Perfume

The fats are gently melted together at 60℃ and then the hot glycerin solution is gradually added to the melted fat mixture.

Melting cleansing cream

Recipes (early 1900's)

This cream consists of a solution of vaseline and paraffin in a thin mineral oil. The cream becomes liquid at body temperature. Rubbing the cream in firmly removes the dirt from the pores.

*Recipe no. 1, soft:*
Mineral oil	56 dl
Paraffin	24 dl
White petroleum jelly	19 dl

*Recipe no. 2, medium:*
Mineral oil	50 dl
Paraffin	18 dl
White petroleum jelly	23 dl
Spermaceti	9 dl

*Recipe no. 3, medium:*
Mineral oil	50 dl
Paraffin	30 dl
White petroleum jelly	20 dl

*Recipe no. 4, hard:*
Mineral oil	45 dl
Paraffin	25 dl
White petroleum jelly	20 dl
Spermaceti	10 dl

The ingredients are melted on a water bath and mixed. About 0,5% perfume is added, the mass is poured into the boxes or flasks at the lowest possible temperature and left to stand until the mass has completely cooled.

Vanishing cream

By vanishing cream we mean a fat-free cream that is completely absorbed by the skin. This kind of cream consists of an emulsion of free stearic acid in a solution of a stearic soap. The pearlescent appearance is created by the crystallization of the free stearic acid in thin leaves. Triethanolamine is used as a base for a soft cream.

100 g stearic acid is melted and heated to 80℃. Furthermore, 4.5 g of triethanolamine and 36 g of glycerine are dissolved in 360 g of water and this mixture is also heated to 80℃. This solution is slowly poured into the molten stearic acid with good stirring. At 55℃, the perfume is added and the cream is left to stand for a few days. The mass is gently stirred for a few minutes every day.

A harder cream is obtained by replacing the triethanolamine with 1.5 g of potash.

Massage creams

Recipe 1.

One takes the cheese dust, which is made from 4½ liters of milk with the help of some rennet or by making the milk sour. The cheese dust is wrung out as dry as possible in a linen cloth and is mixed with 30 g of glycerine, 4 g of borax and 2 g of boric acid. This mixture is ground together as finely as possible in a porcelain mortar. Finally, perfume is used, for example, with 30 drops of geranium oil, 15 drops of aniseed oil and 15 drops of bitter almond oil.

*Recipe 2.*
Stearic acid	300 dl
Cocoa butter	40 dl
Mineral oil	100 dl
Wheat starch	550 dl
Boric acid	100 dl
Water	2100 dl
Sodium benzoate	5 dl
Glycerin	160 dl
Ammonia 26° Bé	30 dl

The starch is first stirred into a thin paste with cold water. The boric acid is then added to this. While stirring well, the mixture is now heated until a thick translucent paste is formed. The mass must not burn. The glycerin and the ammonia are now mixed with the hot starch paste. Only when the mass is well-equal is the melted fat mixture, which has been heated to 93℃, added while stirring well. After this, it must be stirred well for 1½ to 2 hours. When cooling, the sodium benzoate is then added and finally 120 dl of perfume and approx. 30 dl of water-soluble red dye are added.

Acid skin cream

The skin of a healthy person reacts clearly acidic, the pH is approximately between 3 and 5. The deep layers of the skin gradually become neutral. The acidic reaction of the epidermis is a protection against infection from outside, as most bacteria cannot live or only poorly in an acidic environment. After washing with soap, the skin becomes neutral, as the soap as an alkaline substance neutralizes the acid of the skin. The skin must therefore form and secrete acid again and again after washing. It is clear that if one repeatedly and frequently smears the skin with a strongly alkaline cream, the skin eventually becomes tired and no longer produces enough acid. In the chemical industry, where one has to constantly clean one's hands, we see that very unpleasant skin disorders are the result of this.

If one now manufactures a skin cream which reacts acidic and rubs the skin with it after washing, the skin does not have to produce new acid and therefore does not get tired.

In modern creams, therefore, we see an effort to make them distinctly acidic, and this is possible now that emulsifiers have been found which are not disturbed by 0.1 normal acid.

Instead of soap, sapamines are now used as an emulsifier. The sapamine salts are compounds of organic or inorganic acids with oleic acid diethylamide and similar compounds. For a cream, it is then preferably combined with a glycerine monofatty acid ester.

Facial water

In general, excellent milky facial toners can be made using triethanolamine as an emulsifier, in the form of the stearate. In addition, the water then contains a solution of water-soluble slimes.

Liquid cleansing cream

*Recipe (1938)*
Stearic acid	135 dl
Paraffin oil	760 dl
Water	1140 dl
Triethanolamine	45 dl
Diethylene glycol	135 dl
Diethylene glycol ethyl ether	90 dl

The fats are heated to 77℃ and mixed with the aqueous, preheated solution while stirring well. Perfume is added at will.

Astringent facial water with mother-of-pearl shimmer

Tragacanth	15 dl
Warm water	2.4 ltr

This is left to stand for a day and when the tragacanth is well dissolved, 1.4 l of alcohol is added.

Now add 1 kg of gentle cleansing cream made of stearic acid and triethanolamine from p. 77 a liter or more of this tragacanth solution. The addition should be very slow while stirring well. To obtain a beautiful mother-of-pearl shine, one takes cream, which was made some time ago. By standing, the actual peculiar appearance develops in the cream through the crystallization of stearic acid.

Finally, the facial water is filtered through muslin and optionally colored with a water-soluble dye. The preparation dries very quickly, refreshes the skin and is an excellent preparation for powdering.
