Lip Balm

Lips can be sensitive to the actions of the sun, wind, dry air, bacteria and salty foods. They often require little extra protection. Through the use of natural Fats and Waxes lips can be cared for without Lip Balms having to be applied over and over again. The need for continual application of Lip Balm can be the result of using Lip Balms containing Vaseline or Paraffin Oil from the petroleum industry.

There are many different Fats, Waxes and Vegetable Oils which can be used to make a Lip Balm base and different active ingredients which can be added to create particular kinds of Lip Balm. The waxes protect the lips while the Vegetable Oil soften them.

The Lip Balm base needs to contain more Wax than the Base Ointment so that it will remain hard even on a warm summer's day and so that it doesn't  leave too much of a fatty feeling on the lips.

Method:

  • Heat all the ingredients except any Organic E ssential Oils in the beaker or stainless steel cup immersed in a pan of hot water (double boiler).
  • Stir and melt fully.
  • When everything has melted, add 30 drops of each Essential Oil (or 60 of a blend of them).
  • Pour this product into a glass jar or professional Lip Balm cylinder.

Leave to cool for a few minutes before putting the lid on the jar.

Different kinds of Lip Balm can be made through the addition of other fat-soluble ingredients (see below). For every e.g. 5ml of liquid ingredient you add, you will need to reduce the Vegetable Oil by 5ml. Most of the additional ingredients, apart from Essential Oils, will need to be heated with the main ingredients.

Here are some examples of what you can add to the Base Lip Balm Recipes to make the type of Lip Balm you want:

Lip Balm for Sun Protection - add Tiosol (10ml for Sun Protection Factor 12, or 5ml for Sun Protection Factor 5-6)

Tea Tree Lip Balm (for sore lips) - add 1-8ml Tea Tree Oil and 1-5ml Lavender Oil as your Essential Oils
