In autumn and winter, the weather is cold and dry, and if you don’t like to drink water, your lips will easily break, so everyone usually wears lip balm. Don't think that making lip balm is difficult. In fact, you can easily make it once you have all the ingredients. Moreover, homemade lip balm is naturally hormone-free, so it doesn't matter if you eat it directly. Let’s take a look at how to make it~ First you need to prepare empty lipstick tubes, glass rods, beakers, stainless steel pots, induction cookers, EV olive oil, Corning shea butter, and pharmaceutical grade beeswax.
Preparation Tools:
Empty lipstick tube, glass rod, beaker, stainless steel pot, induction cooker.
Prepare ingredients:
EV olive oil, Corning shea butter, pharmaceutical grade beeswax.
Production steps:
The first step is disinfection. Put the lipstick tube, beaker, and glass rod in a disinfection cabinet for disinfection. The lipstick tube can only be sterilized by ozone, as it will deform at high temperatures. If there is no disinfection cabinet, you can soak it in medical alcohol and dry it in the shade.
Then for the raw materials, just use the EV olive oil we buy in the supermarket. If Corning shea butter is not available, you can also use cocoa butter, but it will have a cocoa flavor.

Mix the raw materials in the ratio of 4:2:2 (olive oil: shea butter: beeswax).
Put it in hot water and heat it over water, slowly waiting for the lipids and beeswax to melt.
After melting, you can pour it into the lipstick tube. If you want to add essential oil, you can add it at this time. Generally, adding 1 to 2 drops to 100ml of oil is enough, otherwise the taste will be particularly strong and it will feel awkward when applied to the mouth
This time I am making a lavender olive lip balm, so just add a few drops of lavender essential oil and mandarin essential oil.
Then filling is enough. Be careful when filling and try to finish it in one go, otherwise the paste will not be smooth. Then wait for it to solidify and you can use it.
Look at the finished product, it’s very good. Try it on and it’s definitely better than the ones on the market. And because no petroleum jelly is used in the formula, it doesn’t feel very heavy. It’s a thin layer, but it can protect your lips from dryness. Why don’t you give it a try now?
