Aloe Vera healing lip Balm for Sayan

15 Dec

Extra virgin olive oil is a good moisturizer for a case of dry lips; who does not have olive oil in its kitchen?!

Honey is an excellent choice as a treatment for a bad case of chapped and cracked lips because it is antiseptic. Aloe vera is an amazing healing plant.

Natural Emulsifier – 10 %

1 teaspoon Beeswax pellets

Oil phase – 80 %

½ teaspoon of liquid honey

6 1/2  teaspoon of olive oil

1 teaspoon of shea butter

1 capsule of vitamin e or wheat germ oil (optional)

Water Phase: 10 %

1 teaspoon of Aloe vera juice or gel

Essential oils:

5 drops of Roman Chamomile essential oil (optional)

or for a vanilla taste and scent 10 drops of vanilla essential oil (10 fold)

Directions:

Melt beeswax, oils, and honey in a double boiler of very low heat. Once melted, add the aloe vera.. Blend well with a whip. Take it off the heat and start whipping until the liquid becomes frosty and the honey and aloe vera well blended. Add the essential oils if you wish. This Vaseline will solidify quickly so pour it in a container as soon as the mixture is well blended and still warm. You can re-melt it if necessary.

Yield: about 1.5 oz

Honey, Sweet orange and cinnamon lip balm

1 Dec

Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the castor bean a natural emollient that penetrates the skin and helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin which can soften and hydrate the skin. Cinnamon and sweet orange are very comforting making this lip balm perfect for the winter and Christmas season!

Natural Emulsifier – 40 %

4 tablespoon Beeswax (or 3 only if you prefer a softer lip balm)

Oil phase – 60 %

1 tablespoon Castor oil

½ tablespoon of liquid honey

½ tablespoon of calendula oil

2 tablespoon of sweet almond oil

2 tablespoon of raw shea butter

1 capsule of vitamin e

Essential oils:

5 drops of Cinnamon leaf essential oils

5 drops of sweet orange essential oils

Directions:

Melt beeswax, oils, and honey in a double boiler of very low heat. Once melted take it off the heat and start whipping with an electric mixer until the liquid becomes frosty and the honey well blended. (at first you will see the honey at the bottom of the oils, that means it is not well mixed).

Add essential oils and pour the mixture into lip balm container before it starts to solidify.

If it has already starting to solidify, don’t panic! Put it back into the double boiler for a few seconds until it melts again and poor the rest in the containers.

Words of wisdom: Cinnamon leaf essential oil must be use with caution. Please do not increase the percentage of drops in your lip balm. Cinnamon essential oil can be a mucous membrane irritant and strong skin sensitizer. Only the oil from the leaf should be used.  I never had any problems with this lip balm which is one of my favorite!

Yield: about 1.5 oz
