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.

E ssential

of hot water (double boiler).

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
