What’s in This Natural Lip Balm Recipe?
Mango Butter
Mango Butter is one of the key ingredients that makes this lip balm so effective. This natural ingredient is an excellent moisturizer that nourishes the skin without feeling greasy. Plus, it locks in moisture, vital during the colder months. Mango butter is good for your lips and contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a powerhouse ingredient for healthy skin!
Almond Oil
Winter Frost Natural Lip Balm is crafted with Almond Oil, an ingredient that works wonders for your lips. Almond Oil is highly moisturizing and deeply nourishing, giving your lips the hydration they need to stay healthy and smooth. It’s packed with essential nutrients that help repair dry or chapped lips, making it the perfect addition to any lip balm recipe.
Beeswax
Beeswax not only acts as a thickener to keep your balm from melting, but also moisturizes your skin and promotes healing. By using natural ingredients like beeswax, you can avoid the harmful chemicals found in many commercial lip balms.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender Essential Oil will help soothe your lips and uplift and promote rest with its calming scent. Plus, you will love the refreshing scent of lavender on your lips.
Juniper Berry Essential Oil
Juniper Berry Essential Oil promotes rejuvenation, which means it can help eliminate dry, cracked, and chapped lips. But that’s not all – it also promotes rest! So, the next time you feel stressed or anxious, apply Winter Frost Natural Lip Balm and let the Juniper Berry essential oil work its magic.

Clean-Up Tips
Sometimes, lip balm residue can be challenging to clean up, so we’ve got a simple tip to help. After making your lip balm, wipe the bowl out with a paper towel while it’s still warm. If the lip balm residue starts to harden inside, lightly heat the bowl to help it melt once again, and then repeat wiping. This will leave you with a clean surface ready to make even more fantastic lip balm.
