3 Ingredient Lip Balm

Based on a study by Lithuanian scientists, the lip balm with the best properties contains sea buckthorn oil, beeswax, cocoa butter and grape seed oil. Here is the recipe for it.

The best lip balm

During their research, Lithuanian researchers tested different proportions of vegetable oils, beeswax and cocoa butter to find out what makes the best lip balm. A mixture of grapeseed oil and sea buckthorn oil was used as liquid oil in this study, but in a simplified recipe, the entire amount can be replaced with grapeseed oil. The use of sea buckthorn oil adds anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to the lipstick.

Since sea buckthorn oil is a rather expensive product, you will find mainly rapeseed and olive oil-based infusions (in Estonia, for example, Tervix http://www.tervix.ee/astelpajuoli/).

Features of the lip balm

The properties of the lip balm result from the interaction of different components: Beeswax creates a protective layer on the surface of the skin, cocoa butter acts as a skin-softening component, while grapeseed oil leaves the lips moisturized for a long time.

You need:

58 g grape seed oil (or 40 g grape seed oil and 18 g sea buckthorn oil)

22 g cocoa butter

20 g beeswax

20 lipstick tubes

melting pot

electronic scale

Manufacturing date

up to 30 min + time required for solidification

Difficulty level

Suitable for the first test

Amount

20 lipsticks

Preparation:

1. Weigh beeswax and cocoa butter into a melting pot. Melt in a water bath or microwave.

2. Add liquid oil to the melted mass. At the moment of addition, the beeswax may begin to solidify again due to the drop in temperature. If this happens, heat the mass until it is uniform and transparent.

3 Turn the lipstick blanks to the lowest position. If necessary, fix it in an upright position inside a small box or jar. Pour the lipstick into the blanks and let it harden.

Do it differently

If you want a slight sparkle to your lipstick, add a bit of mica for coloring.

Shelf life

The product can be stored at room temperature protected from direct sunlight for at least six months.

The original source of the recipe

The recipe is based on the study Evaluation of Beeswax Influence on Physical Properties of Lipstick Using Instrumental and Sensory Methods (Kasparaviciene, Giedre; Savickas, Arunas; Zenona Kalveniene; Saule Velziene; Kubiliene, Loreta; et al. Evidence - Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine; New York (2016)).

Eeterlikud õlid

Kas segule võib lisada ka eeterlikke õlisi, nt piparmünt, lavendel, kaneel?

Replied by: Helen Idarand On 03/24/2024 Tere!
Kõik eeterlikud õlid ei sobi kindlasti huulepalsamis kasutamiseks. Relumee eeterlike õlide kohta kasutamise kohta leiad info iga toote tootelehel. Kui kasutad mujalt ostetud eeterlikke õlisid, pöördu oma müüja poole ja uuri, kas toodet on lugatud huulepalsamis kasutada. Kaneeli eeterlik õli on kergesti nahka ärritav ja seda saab nahal kasutada vaid väga väikeses koguses, huulepalsamis kasutamiseks pigem ei soovitaks. Relumees müügil olevat piparmündi ja lavendli eeterlikku õli võib huulepalsamis kasutada.

Tere

Kas kakaovõi võib asendada - shea, mango, murumuru või babasu võiga?
Kumb nendest oleks kõige parem?

Aitäh

Replied by: Helen Idarand On 08/14/2023 Kakaovõi võib asendada mõne teise võiga, kuid tulemuseks on oluliselt pehmem segu, mis jääb huulepulga tooriku jaoks liiga pehmeks. Muude võide kasutamisel tuleks segu valada huulepalsami topsi.
Tugevama segu saamiseks võib katsetada mesilasvaha koguse suurendamist või steariinhappe lisamist.

Kas viinamarjaseemneõli võib ka täielikult mõne muu õliga asendada(nt mandliõli)?

Replied by: Helen Idarand On 12/19/2020 Jah, viinamarjaseemneõli võib asendada mandliõliga.
