Homemade Natural Eyeliner Using Traditional Oils and Dakota Plant Fragrances
CWSF · 2026 Health & Wellness
Overview
I am Khloe Sandy ,a proud Dakota Indigenous girl. I wanted to try making an eyeliner at home that's safe and natural since many eyeliners in stores contain chemicals that are not good for the skin. In this project, I made eyeliner using black soot from a flame, sunflower oil, aloe vera gel, vitamin E, and Dakota plants like sage and sweetgrass. I carefully mixed the ingredients and tested the eyeliner for color, texture, smell, and how it looks on skin. I also compared it with store‑bought eyeliner. The homemade eyeliner was dark black, smooth, and did not cause any skin reaction during testing. It also had a light natural smell from the cultural plants. This project is important because it shows that science, culture, and natural ingredients can work together to create a safer and more affordable cosmetic product.
