Frequently Asked Questions About Versa Gel What is the exact ratio for mixing Versa Gel with pigments or mica to make lip gloss? We recommend starting with a ratio of 1 part colorant to 10 parts Versa Gel. You can adjust this for more or less opacity based on your preference. For best results, mix thoroughly to ensure even color distribution and avoid streaks. Is this product safe for use on lips? Is it lip-safe and non-toxic? Versa Gel is formulated with ingredients commonly used in cosmetic bases. As a base material, the final product's safety depends on the additives you use. We strongly recommend using only lip-safe pigments and flavors, and always conduct a patch test. How do I choose the right size for my needs? What does "yield" mean? Yield refers to the estimated number of finished gloss tubes you can make. For example, 250ml yields about 50 tubes, ideal for testing, while 500ml or 1000ml supports a small business. The 5000ml size is best for high-volume production, yielding roughly 1000 tubes. Can I use this gel to make other products besides lip gloss, like clear balms or to suspend glitter? Versa Gel is primarily designed as a lip gloss base. It can potentially be used for clear balms or to suspend glitter in lip products, but performance may vary for other applications. We recommend testing a small batch first for any non-lip use. What is the shelf life of the Versa Gel base and the finished lip gloss? Unopened, the base has a shelf life of 1-2 years when stored properly. The shelf life of your finished gloss depends on the additives like oils or flavors you include. If you add any water-based ingredients, using a broad-spectrum preservative is essential. Does this gel have a strong smell or taste? How can I flavor it? Versa Gel has a neutral, minimal odor and taste. To flavor it, use cosmetic-grade, lip-safe flavor oils. A good starting point is adding 0.5% to 1% by weight, adjusting to your desired strength. What is the viscosity like? Is it thick, sticky, or more like a liquid? It is a clear, viscous gel with a smooth, non-sticky texture. This consistency is specifically designed to mimic a high-quality, standard lip gloss feel. It provides excellent shine and comfortable wear. What constitutes a wholesale order and what is the free gift? Wholesale pricing applies to orders of the 5000ml size. With these bulk orders, you'll receive a free gift, which is typically a set of popular lip-safe pigments or useful mixing tools to help you get started.
