UFC Que-choisir, a French organization, conducted several experiments on lip balms concluding that many chemicals present in these products are carcinogenic.

What You Need:

• Good quality beeswax
• Moisturizing oil preferably coconut oil
• Honey
• Your favorite essential oil (preferably lemon)
• A delicious flavored gelatin

Melt the Wax And Oil:

Heat your wax to melt it and mix in the oil. You can either microwave the wax in a heat-safe container for about 30 seconds or use the double boiler method. Alternatively you could heat water in a pan and place your bowl of wax on top of it. The hot steam from the boiling water will melt your wax in a minute.

Adding a Flavor:

Once the solid components have converted into liquid, it’s time to add some flavor. Add fruity gelatin like strawberry or raspberry to give your lip balm to get a beautiful fragrance and delicious taste. After adding gelatin, mix it well or blend it. Now place the mixture in the microwave again or heat it in a double boiler in order to melt the gelatin. You should observe a change in color by now. In case of raspberry gelatin, a deep red color would be seen which will also provide a slight tint to your pout when applied.

Final Touches:

Add an essential oil of your choice to add fragrance to your lip balm. This step while enhance the moisturizing effect and leave your lips smooth and well nourished. You can add lemon oil for a fruity smell but if you like floral fragrances; go for lavender or rose hip oil.
