It so good, you can eat it. No, seriously what follows is an edible lip scrub recipe…does it get any better than this?!
In this easy to make lip scrub recipe, I’ve used ingredients you should be able to find in your kitchen.
And if you don’t have them on hand, you can certainly go for a quick run to your nearest natural food store and use those ingredients in other delicious food recipes…I’m thinking gluten free moist chocolate cake, vegan hot chocolate…mmm ok… sorry to digress here!
I’m using brown sugar because it is an awesome exfloliator. Brown sugar contains glycolic acid, also known as AHA, which helps reducing wrinkles, removing dead cells and increasing skin cells turnover. Brown sugar and maple syrup are natural humectants. They will draw the outside moisture to your skin.
Coconut oil is also a great moisturizer as you probably know and will make your lips smooth like silk. Raw cocoa powder is very high in antioxiants and also includes caffeine and theobromine. Those two ingredients helps getting a more supple skin.
Did you know that eating raw cacao makes you happy? (ok maybe you did know that…!) It contains phenylethylamine which is the same feelings you get when you are in love.
Last but not least, I’ve added a little bit of organic cinnamon powder. Cinnamon powder will plump up your lips for a short while as it increase blood circulation. A light tingling sensation is normal. Just remember to use cinnamon powder wisely. Do not to increase the amount of cinnamon powder in this lip scrub recipe as it can irritate your skin.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of organic raw cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon of organic coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of organic 100% maple syrup or raw liquid honey
- 1 teaspoon of organic cane brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon of organic cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a small cups until they are well blended.
- Apply this paste on your lips and gently massage your lips for a few minutes
- If you want a more “plumping” effect leave on this lip scrub for 5 minutes
- Whip off or eat the scrub (yes, I said eat, a little treat does not hurt anyone especially when it is made with high quality organic ingredients!)
- Rinse well with warm water
- Apply your favourite homemade lip balm or a few drops of coconut oil to moisturise!

Hi! Eve,
I am a new subscriber to your website. I Love this lip scrub recipe. I would like to know, can other flavors, for example, oranges, lemon, and etc, be use in this recipe.

Hi Jacqueline, its best not to use citrus essential oils like lemon on your lips as they are photo toxic and can burn or leave marks.
You could use peppermint essential for a “fresh” and tingly feeling 🙂
If we wanna store it for long time then how can we make it ?
Can we store the mixture for a long time? How long?

Hi ara, its best to make one batch before you use it and do not keep more than 1 week in the fridge.
