TKB Trading, LLC Lip Gloss Base Flexagel ME Clear 15 oz — Ready-to-Formulate, High-Shine Moisturizing

TKB Lip Gloss Base (Flexagel ME) is a ready-to-formulate, crystal-clear lip gloss base designed to suspend pigments and glitter while providing high shine and moisturizing glide.

Whether you craft small-batch cosmetics or launch a private-label lip line, this 15 oz (425 g) container from TKB Trading gives you a neutral, stable starting point. The base arrives odorless, colorless, and fragrance-free with a built-in preservative system so you can add pigments, micas, flavor oils, or TKB's Beautiful Lip Liquid Colors without heating. Formulated with skin-friendly ingredients like coconut oil and vitamin E, it creates a glossy finish that enhances pigments and glitters without separating.

How does this base simplify making custom lip gloss?

TKB Lip Gloss Base eliminates steps many DIYers face by coming pre-blended and preserved. You can stir in pigments or flavor oils directly, bypassing heat or complex emulsification processes. That makes small-batch formulation faster and reduces the risk of ingredient breakdown.

• Ready to use — no heating required.
• Pre-mixed preservative system for safer repackaging.
• Compatible with TKB pigments, liquid colors, and flavor oils.
• Thick enough to keep glitter and mica evenly suspended.

Will pigments and glitter stay evenly distributed?

Yes — the Flexagel ME texture is designed to hold solids in suspension so colorants and glitters remain evenly dispersed instead of sinking. Its viscosity gives a stable platform for both ultra-fine micas and chunky cosmetic glitters, helping finished products look uniform in tube or pot.

• High viscosity prevents pigment settling.
• Suitable for fine mica shimmers and larger glitter flakes.
• Produces consistent color payoff from batch to batch.

What kind of finish and skin feel should I expect?

The result is a glossy, luminous finish with a smooth, non-sticky glide. Coconut oil and vitamin E are included to impart a moisturizing sensation without greasiness, while the clear base lets your added pigments define the shade and intensity.

• High-shine, glass-like finish.
• Non-tacky application and comfortable wear.
• Allows full control of pigment opacity and shimmer level.

Is this safe for repackaging and retailing?

TKB Lip Gloss Base includes a preservation system and is manufactured in the USA, making it suited for repackaging into tubes, pots, or sample vials for resale or gifting. However, always follow local cosmetic regulations for labeling and any additional preservative or stability testing required by your market.

• Made in USA by TKB Trading with 23 years in DIY beauty.
• Preserved formulation ready for repackaging.
• Vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free ingredients stated by the brand.

Who is this for? Small-batch makers, indie beauty brands, makeup artisans, and DIY hobbyists who want a dependable, clear lip gloss base that saves formulation time while delivering high shine and reliable suspension for pigments and glitters. It’s also useful for formulators testing new colorways and flavor profiles without investing in full cosmetic manufacturing steps.
