Comments on Kajal available to you cant be offered without seeing or
testing it. ON the other hand procedure to prepare it at home is:

Basic ingredient in Kajal is lamp soot. Light a cow ghee lamp,
allowed soot to form on a silver cup bottom. After sufficient soot
accumulates, remove cup away from the lamp. After cup cools down,
straight away apply soot to eyelids. No other ingredients needed.
Make fresh kajal daily as needed. Only difficulty in this approach is
need of Indian cow ghee. In India, itself it is being sold at Rs 400/-
a kg, only for medicine purpose.

For storage and easy application, people add cow ghee or castor oil
to make a smooth paste. The contents of such a Kajal can be assured
to be free from lead or zinc oxide.
