Dry lips think more in winter, but it also occurs in summer. Especially when you live in a really hot climate or sweat a lot (like me). This lip balm recipe is a natural way to pamper your lips, featuring a healthy tolow!
What is Tallow?
Some of the latest health trends are characterized by vegan vegetarian and plant -based ingredients. And there are really good vegetable skin care ingredients, but the animal base can be a nutritional power. If these ingredients come from pastures, free range and healthy animals.
Tallow returns and is in the spotlight. This ancient animal -based fat comes from cows, but it can also render the fats of pigs and other animals. Yangtolro will be really good. But I used beef toll row on this lip balm.
Tolow is naturally high in fatty acid Palmitate, stearate and oleate. The top layer of our skin is mainly composed of lipids (fat), and this barrier must be protected to avoid skin damage. Tallow is an animal fat, so it has a unique ability to interact with skin lipids. According to meta -analysis, tolow can increase the composition of fatty acids in the skin and can hydrate and moisturize.
All of this is a great option to protect and moisturize tallow. See here for more information about Tallow’s benefits.
Other lip nutrients
Tallow on it ‘s itself works well, but the temperature is sensitive. Also, it does not move too well in lip balm containers. I add beeswax to this recipe to add more robustness and provide more protective barriers to the skin. You can make this with half and half bees, but I also wanted to add liquid carrier oil.
I used apricot oil, but the liquid carrier oil works. Olive oil, avocado oil, hooba oil, macadamia nut oil and sweet almond oil are all good options.
And finally, I used some essential oils to give a wonderful fragrance. To avoid irritation or photosensitive, you need to use safe things on your lips. The last thing you want is to tear a lime lip balm with a lime fragrance on the beach and burn in an unpleasant lip sun! Here is a list of some essential oils that are safe for use on lips (as long as the diluted).
- Sweet orange
- lavender
- rose
- frankincense
- grapefruit
- Lip
- mint
- geranium
- mandarin
You can also mix and match to make your own fragrance! The maximum dilution ratio recommended on the lips is often 4-5 %. This recipe uses essential oils to 2%, but can change the amount (or omitted) if desired. Here you can find high quality essential oils.

This lip balm slides smoothly, nourishes and moisturizes the lips. Customize your fragrance with your favorite essential oil!

How many lip balms are you making?
Typical lip balm tubes have less than 1 teaspoon. This recipe is filled with about 10 lip balm tubes, but you can increase or reduce the amount as you want. I used a metal lip slide teen, and this recipe calculated five of them.
