Organic Soy Wax Lip Balms

5/15/2015

Lately, I've been really tired of that white line that forms inside your lip when your lip balm makes your lips.. peel? It's gross and unattractive and I just really don't like it. I used to use Carmex but I noticed that my lips had a strange reaction when I stopped using it because I lost it in the bottom of a handbag or something. I can only imagine what chemicals are causing what reactions, but i did notice once I switched to soy wax based lip balms I no longer worried about that nasty little white film line thing on my lips.... don't act like you don't know that I'm talking about.
I've heard some critiques about soy wax and estrogen levels, but using a little on your lips isn't throwing your body chemistry off at all. The amount you would have to take in has to be so much more. SO worry not, this vegan alternative to beeswax is very safe and healthy for skin.

This is the recipe for a 100% organic lip balm made from soy wax (vegan alternative to beeswax), mango butter, sweet almond & coconut oils, tinted with Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics 100% vegan lip tars. The mango butter has vitamins A, C & E which help protect skin from sunburn, sooth sunburned skin & fight free radicals. Sweet almond oil acts as a skin friendly carrier for the essential oils added, but also contains vitamins A, E & D. It continues to be great for skin because it is also rich in oleic & linoleic acids. 

Benefits of Almond Oil for Skin
  • Moisturizing: Almonds trap moisture in the skin keeping it moisturized at all times
  • Anti-inflammation: It has both the ability to soothe as well as treat skin allergies, minor wounds, chapped skin, and other skin infections.
  • Emollient Properties: Emollient properties refer to the ability of the almond oil to get absorbed into your skin. It restores the normal PH of the skin and allows the skin to glow thus preserving moisture.
  • Removing Dark Circles: All you need to do is mix some almond oil with some honey and apply on the affected area.
  • Reducing Wrinkles
  • Sun Protection

Coconut oil has too many benefits ♡ read here for more but in a nutshell it's anti-viral, antimicrobial, antibacterial and protects against about 20% of UV rays. If you can incorporate coconut oil into a recipe for hair, skin or nails; I highly suggest that you do.  I also added essential oils to give some added benefits to each lip balm. Read here for an extended explanation of essential oils used in these lip balms and their benefits.
