Abstract:
An improved antibacterial liquid binder for use as a pre-application binder with cosmetic powders for eye liners, eye shadows and eyebrow makeup including a unique blended mixture of de-ionized water, honey, isopropyl alcohol, potassium alum, propylene glycol, boric acid, and methylparaben, and, more specifically, a new and novel admixture and combination of these ingredients, by weight, as follows: deionized water--70. 97%, honey--20. 88%, isopropyl alcohol--5. 25%, potassium alum--0. 9%, propylene glycol--0. 9%, boric acid--0. 9%, and methylparaben--0. 2%. The method for making such improved liquid binder for pre-application combination with cosmetic powders, eye shadows and eyebrow makeup including the steps of adding the potassium alum to the isopropyl alcohol and mixing the combined potassium alum and isopropyl alcohol to form a homogenous solution, adding the boric acid to the combination of potassium alum and isopropyl alcohol and mixing the combined boric acid, potassium alum and isopropyl alcohol to form a homogenous solution, mixing the methylparaben with the propylene glycol to form a homogenous solution, pre-heating the combined liquid solution formed by the mixing of methylparaben with the propylene glycol until the combined liquid solution is homogenous, clear and transparent, pre-heating the honey to reduce the viscosity of the honey, adding the pre-heated homogenous, clear and transparent liquid solution formed of the mixture of methylparaben and propylene glycol to the pre-heated honey, mixing the mixture of methylparaben and propylene glycol with the pre-heated honey to form a homogenous solution, pouring the combination of methylparaben, propylene glycol, honey, isopropyl alcohol, potassium alum, and boric acid into the deionized water and mixing the combination formed thereby to form a homogenous solution.
