Going All Natural With Homemade Lip Balm

Have you decided to start making your own natural lip balm? You are on the right track to eliminating harmful chemicals on your body by controlling ingredients in the products you use. Our bulk lip balm tubes and tins can give you the tools you need to start your new project. There are many elements in commercially produced lip treatment that are harmful. For example, not all balms have incorporated sunscreen in them which can lead to sunburn. Parabens, which are present in most commercial lipsticks can damage your skin. Fragrances can also irritate your skin, and artificial sweeteners could cause health problems. Yikes, those are not great qualities of regular store bought chapstick.

There are some ingredients in lipsticks and lip balms that are good for you. Glycerin and aloe vera are humectants. they pull moisture out of the air and attach itself to whatever they are on, such as your lips. Water, in any form, is good for your lips but won’t stay without something to lock it in. Making your own lip balm may sound like a daunting task but it really is pretty easy. You can put your mind at ease that you are giving your lips the quality care they deserve. You will need a few ingredients to get you started! First, you will need oil (sweet almond, coconut, or grapeseed). Second you will need butter (shea, cocoa, or mango). Third, you need wax (beeswax or soy). Last, a few drop of your choice of essential oil and powdered herbs for color. That’s it! As you become more experience you can experiment with your own recipes.
