What’s in This Lip Balm Recipe?
Cocoa Butter
Cocoa Butter deeply moisturizes lips, leaving them soft, supple, and hydrated. It imparts a delightful chocolatey fragrance that tantalizes your senses. This rich and nourishing butter creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture, shielding lips from the harsh effects of environmental conditions.
Beeswax
Beeswax creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture while providing a smooth texture to the lip balm. It acts as a natural emollient, helping to prevent moisture loss from the delicate skin of your lips. Moreover, it ensures the balm maintains a solid yet velvety consistency.
Almond Oil
Almond oil offers exceptional hydration and nourishment. Its rich emollient properties help moisturize and soften your lips’ delicate skin, leaving them feeling supple and smooth. Almond oil is especially beneficial for sensitive skin, as it is known for its gentle and soothing qualities.
Blood Orange Essential Oil
With its citrusy and tangy aroma, it uplifts the spirits, centers the mind, and infuses a sense of joyful energy into your lip balm. But that’s not all—Blood Orange Essential Oil also possesses immune-boosting properties, helping to support your body’s natural defenses.
Things to Remember When Using This Recipe
Always dilute an essential oil when using it on the skin. This essential oil recipe is unlikely to cause skin irritation when diluted properly. If the oil has oxidized (been left with the cap off for long periods of time), it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly.

Pro Tips for Perfect Lip Balms
Adjust Consistency to Your Preference: If you prefer a harder lip balm, increase the ratio of beeswax. For a softer texture, decrease the amount of beeswax in the recipe.
Storage Tips for Freshness: To keep your homemade lip balm fresh and effective, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help extend its shelf life for up to 12 months.
Get Creative with Essential Oil Blends: While the recipe above features a delightful cocoa butter scent, experiment with other essential oil blends to create unique fragrances. How about trying a chocolate mint blend with a few drops of peppermint oil? Or perhaps a chocolate-lavender combination for a soothing aroma?
