Kun viimeksi tein huulivoidetta tammikuussa<\/a>, en sitten lopulta ollut ihan t\u00e4ysin tyytyv\u00e4inen sen koostumukseen. Edelliskerralla tekem\u00e4ni huulivoide oli hiukan liian sulavaa iholla ja t\u00e4m\u00e4 uusin er\u00e4 oli ihan himppasen liian kovaa. Joten p\u00e4\u00e4dyin nyt sitten kaikkien neuvojen vastaisesti radikaaliin ratkaisuun. Ker\u00e4sin edellisen er\u00e4n loput voiteet sek\u00e4 kaikki n\u00e4m\u00e4 uudet voiteet ja sulatin ne yhteen. Lis\u00e4sin seokseen hiukan j\u00e4ljell\u00e4 olevaa sheavoita ja kaakaovoita koostumuksen pehment\u00e4miseksi sek\u00e4 muutamat j\u00e4m\u00e4tipat jotka sain tiristetty\u00e4 irti kasvi\u00f6ljypullosta. Koska edellisen er\u00e4n v\u00e4ris\u00e4vy oli hiukan liian ruskeavoittoinen omaan makuuni, lis\u00e4sin my\u00f6s sinist\u00e4 v\u00e4riainetta s\u00e4vyn tasaamiseksi. T\u00e4m\u00e4 huulivoiteiden sekoittelu alkaa tosiaankin vaikuttaa enemm\u00e4n ja enemm\u00e4n kemistin puuhalta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kotikosmetiikkaan suositellaan k\u00e4ytett\u00e4v\u00e4ksi ainoastaan hyv\u00e4laatuisia, tuoreita raaka-aineita. Koska n\u00e4m\u00e4 kaikki raaka-aineiden loput ovat olleet minulla jo jonkin aikaa, ajattelin ett\u00e4 eip\u00e4 tuossa nyt kovin paljoa h\u00e4vi\u00e4 jos sulatan n\u00e4m\u00e4 kaikki yhteen edellisten huulivoiteiden kanssa. N\u00e4m\u00e4 tulevat kuitenkin kaikki omaan henkil\u00f6kohtaiseen k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6ni. Vanhentuneissa raaka-aineissa on nimitt\u00e4in aina hygieniariski. Mutta kappas kehveli\u00e4! Sain kuin sainkin aikaiseksi vihdoinkin aivan kelvollisen huulivoiteen. Ainoastaan v\u00e4ris\u00e4vy vaatii viel\u00e4 hieman s\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4mist\u00e4. My\u00f6skin vaniljan tuoksu laimeni kun seokseen tuli suhteessa enemm\u00e4n muita raaka-aineita. Aletaan olemaan jo hyvin hyvin l\u00e4hell\u00e4 t\u00e4ydellisen huulivoiteen koostumusta. Nyt minulla on useampi tuubi sek\u00e4 yksi siev\u00e4 pannu t\u00e4t\u00e4 voidetta, joten voi menn\u00e4 pitk\u00e4 tovi ennenkuin joudun tekem\u00e4\u00e4n lis\u00e4\u00e4. Onneksi minulla on muistiinpanot m\u00e4\u00e4rist\u00e4, ne helpottavat muistamista ensi kerralla. <\/p>\n\n\n

Vasemmalla uusi huulivoideseos, oikealla lopetettu lempparihuulivoiteeni Aco. Luulin jo annostelleeni v\u00e4ri\u00e4 liikaa, mutta en sitten kuitenkaan. Voide n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 tuubissa tummemmalle kuin iholla, joten pigmentti\u00e4 on viel\u00e4 melko v\u00e4h\u00e4n. \/
On the left is the new tinted lip balm mix, on the right is my favourite discontinued Aco lip balm. I already thought I added too much pigment, but turns out I didn’t. It looks darker in the stick than on the skin, so there is still quite little amount of pigment.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Vertailin samalla huvikseni aiemmin k\u00e4ytt\u00e4mieni huulivoiteiden inci\u00e4, eli raaka-ainesis\u00e4lt\u00f6\u00e4. Inciss\u00e4 ensimm\u00e4isen\u00e4 ovat ne raaka-aineet joita tuotteessa on eniten ja viimeisen\u00e4 olevaa v\u00e4hiten. Kannattaa my\u00f6s kiinnitt\u00e4\u00e4 huomiota siihen mit\u00e4 aineita on eniten, sill\u00e4 ne ovat yleens\u00e4 ne tuotteen “vaikuttavat aineet”. Jos siis tuotetta mainostetaan “luonnontuotteena” mutta kasvipohjaiset ainesosat ovat luettelon loppup\u00e4\u00e4ss\u00e4, kyse on luultavasti pelk\u00e4st\u00e4 viherpesusta. Pakko todeta ett\u00e4 tutkittuani n\u00e4it\u00e4 incej\u00e4, k\u00e4yt\u00e4n ihan todella paljon mieluummin kotitekoista huulivoidetta<\/a>, jossa on vain muutamaa tuttua raaka-ainetta, kuin teollisia, joissa on v\u00e4h\u00e4n kaikkea. Kosmetiikkaan lis\u00e4t\u00e4\u00e4n monenlaista tuomaan tuotteeseen tiettyj\u00e4 ominaisuuksia, mutta ehk\u00e4 v\u00e4h\u00e4n v\u00e4hempikin ehk\u00e4 riitt\u00e4isi. Apteekeissa myyt\u00e4v\u00e4n ACO-sarjan huulivoiteesta on karsittu turha ja keskitytty olennaiseen, kuten toisaalta apteekki-tuotteelta voisi odottaakin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ainesosien tarkempi tutkiminen osoitti ett\u00e4 etenkin noissa kahdessa edullisemman hintaluokan huulivoiteessa oli my\u00f6s muita aineosia, joiden k\u00e4ytt\u00f6 kosmetiikassa ei ehk\u00e4 ole kovin hyv\u00e4ksi. Yksi sellainen on lanoliini, eli villarasva. Sen tiedet\u00e4\u00e4n olevan voimakkaasti \u00e4rsytt\u00e4v\u00e4 ja allergisoiva. Siksi monet valmistajat ovatkin v\u00e4hent\u00e4neet sen k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00e4 ja korvanneet jollakin muulla. Toinen esiin nouseva aine on Benzofenoni-3. Sit\u00e4 k\u00e4ytet\u00e4\u00e4n tuotteissa UV-suojana, mutta sen on todettu pystyv\u00e4n imeytym\u00e4\u00e4n ihon l\u00e4pi verenkiertoon ja ep\u00e4ill\u00e4\u00e4n my\u00f6s ett\u00e4 se olisi ns. hormonih\u00e4iritsij\u00e4. Yll\u00e4tys oli my\u00f6skin tuon nuorempana k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4ni Deborah Hydracolorin sis\u00e4lt\u00e4m\u00e4 mikromuovi. Mietitytt\u00e4\u00e4 ett\u00e4 paljonko sit\u00e4 mikromuovia on aikoinaan tullut vahingossa sy\u00f6neeksi koko sen ajan kun olen k\u00e4ytt\u00e4nyt tuota huulivoidetta. Blistex-huulivoiteen paketissa luki ett\u00e4 se on hajustettu, mutta tuoksun voimakkuus oli kyll\u00e4 melko tyrm\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4. Eik\u00e4 ihme, tuotteessa on viitt\u00e4 eri hajustetta, kahta makuainetta sek\u00e4 lis\u00e4ksi muita raaka-aineita, kuten karitevoi, joilla on voimakas ominaistuoksu. Suurimmassa osassa huulivoiteita, etenkin s\u00e4vytettyj\u00e4, on hajusteita, mutta useimmissa ne ovat huomattavasti miedompia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My\u00f6nn\u00e4n, raaka-aineluettelot ovat melko puuduttavaa luettavaa, mutta on ihan hy\u00f6dyllist\u00e4 tiet\u00e4\u00e4 mist\u00e4 kosmetiikka valmistetaan. Erityisen t\u00e4rke\u00e4\u00e4 siit\u00e4 tulee jos herkistyy jollekin ainesosalle. Silloin on hyv\u00e4 tiet\u00e4\u00e4 millaisesta aineesta on kyse, mik\u00e4 on sen funktio ja voiko sit\u00e4 v\u00e4ltt\u00e4\u00e4. Aika ajoin otsikoihin nousee kohu kosmetiikan raaka-aineiden haitallisuudesta, kuten silikonien ihoa tukkivat ominaisuudet, allergisoivat s\u00e4il\u00f6nt\u00e4aineet, hormonih\u00e4iritsij\u00e4t jne. On hyv\u00e4 hiukan olla n\u00e4ist\u00e4 perill\u00e4, jotta voi v\u00e4ltty\u00e4 levitt\u00e4m\u00e4st\u00e4 huhupuheita ja harhaluuloja. Aiheesta l\u00f6ytyy kirjallisuutta, mutta nykyisin onneksi tietoa on helppo l\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4 my\u00f6s netist\u00e4. Esim t\u00e4m\u00e4 COSMILE Europe<\/a>, kosmetiikan ainesosatietokanta on todella kattava tietopankki kosmetiikan raaka-aineista kiinnostuneille. Aiemmin olen itse kirjoittanut kosmetiikan raaka-aineista t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4<\/a>. Huh, kyll\u00e4p\u00e4 siit\u00e4 on aikaa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HUOM! mik\u00e4li huomaat raaka-aineluettelossa virheit\u00e4, niin kerro ihmeess\u00e4. Korjaan ne mielell\u00e4ni. En mill\u00e4\u00e4n muista n\u00e4it\u00e4 kaikkia ulkoa, joten joudun aina tarkistelemaan tietoja ja koska niit\u00e4 on nyt n\u00e4in paljon, voi olla ett\u00e4 sinne on puikahtanut virheit\u00e4. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last time when I made lip balm in January<\/a>, I wasn’t completely happy with the texture in the end. Previous time it was too “melty” on the skin and this latest batch was just a tad too hard. So I made drastic decision. I took all the rest of the first batch and all of latest ones and melted them together. I also added little bit of my leftover shea butter and cocoa butter to make it softer and also added the left over drops from the vegetable oil bottle. Because the colour of latest mix was too brown for my taste, I also added little bit blue colouring. Mixing my own tinted lip balm is starting to be more and more like chemistry job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s recommended to use only high-quality, fresh ingredients for home cosmetics. I’ve had all of these ingredients for awhile now, so I came to conclusion that I won’t really loose much if I just mix all of these with the lip balms. After all, these are only for my personal use. Old ingredients always have a hygiene risk. But what do you know! I finally managed to make pretty decent lip balm for myself. Texture is now almost perfect. Only the colour still requires a bit tweaking. The vanilla cent from the first batch also diluted when I added more incredients to the mix. Now I have several sticks and one tin of this lovely lip balm, so it probably takes quite long time before I have to make more. But atleast I got my notes to remind me of the composition next time. <\/p>\n\n\n

Siin\u00e4 ne nyt ovat lopullisessa kuosissaan. \/
Here is now the final result. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

For fun I also compared the inci of the lip balms I have used before. Inci is the list of ingredients used in cosmetics. List should always be in the order of the amount, so that ingredient of largest amount is first and least amount is last. So when reading the inci, you should also pay attention, not just what it has, but in which order they are. The “effective ingredients” should always be on the top of the list. So for example is product is advertised as “natural product”, but the plant based ingredients are at the bottom of the list, it’s most likely just “green washing” the product. I have to say that after reading these inci’s, I’d much rather use the homemade lip balm<\/a> than these, than the industrial made balms with who-knows-what. All sorts of things are added to cosmetics to bring certain properties to them. But perhaps little bit less is enough, don’t you think. ACO is only sold in pharmacies and had the least amount of ingredients, which could have been expected from a pharmacy product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspecting the ingredients a bit closer showed that especially two of the cheaper lip balms had also some ingredients which are not necessary desired in cosmetics. One of those is lanoline, wool fat. It is known fact that lanolin is highly irritating and causes allergy. Many manufacturers have replaced it with other options. Another thing that comes up is Benxophenone-3. It is used in cosmetics as UV-block. However studies have shown that it is able to absorb through skin into blood stream. It’s also suspected to be so called hormone disruptor. The micro plastic used in Deborah Hydracolour was also surprise to me. I wonder how much of micro plastic I have accidentally eaten in the past when I was using this product. Blistex lip balm package did mention it was scented, however the intensity of it was quite stunning. And no wonder, there is five different fragrances in it and also two aromas, and other ingredients with strong natural scent, like shea butter. Most lip balms, especially tinted ones, have some sort of fragrance in them, but usually they are much milder than this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I admit, inci lists are a pretty boring read, but it is beneficial to know what cosmetics are made of. It becomes especially important if you become sensitive to something. In that case it’s handy to know what kind of ingredient it is, what function it serves and is it possible to avoid. Every now and then news about the harmful cosmetic ingredients surfaces. Like the pore blocking silicone, preservatives causing allergies, hormone disruptors etc. It is good to be aware of these, so you can avoid spreading false information and rumours. There is lot of books about it, but thankfully these days it is easy to find the knowledge also online. For example COSMILE Europe<\/a>, European cosmetic ingredient database is really wide range information bank about all you need to know about cosmetics. And it’s in several different languages too! Previously I have written about the cosmetic ingredients here<\/a>. Wow, that was long time ago!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTICE! If you see that there is a mistake on these descriptions, please let me know. I don’t remember these all by heart, so I always have to check them up. Because this time there is so much of them, I might have made a mistake, which I am happy to correct if needed. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aiemmin k\u00e4ytt\u00e4mi\u00e4ni huulivoiteita ja tuo usein muisteltu Acon lemppari, jonka meniv\u00e4t onnettomat lopettamaan. Blistex on j\u00e4\u00e4nyt k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00e4 eritt\u00e4in vahvan hajusteen vuoksi.

Voipi olla ett\u00e4 tuo loppu lent\u00e4\u00e4 nyt roskiin, samoin kuin Hydracolour. \/
Lip balms which I used before and the often mentioned Aco, which was my favourite and now is discontinued, Blistex has not been used much because of a very strong fragrance. I have only used it if I haven’t had anything better and previous has just ran out. Perhaps now I can throw rest of it away, and Hydracolour too<\/em><\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Kun viimeksi tein huulivoidetta tammikuussa, en sitten lopulta ollut ihan t\u00e4ysin tyytyv\u00e4inen sen koostumukseen.
