The Procedure Of Making Handmade Organic Lip Balm

By Margaret Kennedy


Your lip consists of thin and soft skin that is prone to crack, chaps, and peels. It requires regular care to keep it strong and healthy. Use of moisturizer that contains harmful chemicals worsens the already bad situation. In case you are living in an area that experiences much wind and sun, you will have to deal with chapped and dry lips on a regular basis, if you are not careful. Instead of buying moisturizer when you are not sure if it will be effective, consider making a handmade organic lip balm. It is both cost-effective and healthy.

Homemade moisturizers require keen eye and extra care. Wrong choice or mixing of ingredients can produce disastrous results. You should possess excellent researching skills. Various blogs and websites contain vital information that can simplify the process. You will have a chance to use quality oils and herbal products when you are making the lip balm personally. To make sure the correct amount of ingredients have been utilized, tablespoon measurement is the best option. You can use liquid oil (carrier) in three parts, one spoon of base wax, solid butter in one part, and at least two or three essential oil drops.

Beeswax can be substituted with candelilla wax, but not in equal measurements. When you are making a recipe substitution, a bigger volume of candelilla wax can be used. When castor oil is used during the designing process, a quality lip balm that leaves a glossy shine can be made. However, you will need to use a small amount of castor oil probably half tablespoons. The trick is to list down the ingredients and design a recipe.

Start by placing the selected liquid oil, beeswax, and solid butter into a measuring cup. The cup should be heatproof. Place the cup into a saucepan containing a small volume of water probably 2 inches to design makeshift double boiler.

The water should be heated gently until all the contents of the cup have melted. After removing the cup from the pan, make a point of wiping the outer surface to ensure the water droplets that does not get into the cup. Add a few drops of essential oil, and thoroughly stir the mixture. Pour the mixture in to small tins or tubes.

You should purchase a filling tray, if you want your life to be easy. The tray will allow you to make larger volumes of the balm. When the lip balm is cool, cap, and put a sticky tag on it. A heat gun can be used to ensure the top parts are wonderful and smooth.

Oils are available in diverse categories. This creates flexibility since you can use different type oils interchangeably. Impurities tend to accumulate on the dermal layer of your lips; a moisturizer made of natural and herbal products can be used to remove them completely. Bases such as sunflower, sweet almond, and olive oils are preferable.

A lip balm that is infused with natural colorants and powdered herbal products is healthy. Place a tablespoon of powdered herb in a mason jar, add few drops of essential oil, cap it, and set it up in a dark cabinet form a month.
