Skin Care Secrets Revealed: How to make Natural Lip Balms, the Aromantic way

By Kolbjorn Borseth

making natural lip balmsLips 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 oils/waxes 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 Fats and Waxes protect the lips while the Vegetable Oils soften them.

A lip balm base needs to contain more wax than a 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.

Lip BalmMethod for making Lip Balms for jars

  1. Heat all the ingredients except any organic essential oils, vitamins and organic aromas in the beaker or stainless steel cup immersed in a pan of hot water (double boiler).
  2. Stir and melt fully.
  3. When everything has melted, add drops of each essential oil or, in chocolate recipe, the vitamin E oil and organic aroma.
  4. Pour this product into a glass/plastic/aluminium jars.
  5. 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 these Lip Balm Recipes to make the type of lip balm you want:

Lip Balm for Sun Protection - add Tiosol (13ml for Sun Protection Factor 10, or 5ml for Sun Protection Factor 4)

Tea Tree Lip Balm (for sore lips) - add 1-5ml Tea Tree Oil and 1-2ml Lavender Oil as your Essential Oils

Vitamin Lip Balm - add 3ml/g Vitamin E Oil, (undiluted), up to 2ml Vitamin A Palmitate and 5 drops of Carotene.
