Lip balm ingredients

View all ingredients

Myrica Fruit Was

Also called Bayberry, it is a vegan alternative to beeswax. It gives the lip balm a silky texture and luxurious spreadability. It also forms a thin film layer on the lips, protecting them from external influences.

Candelillawas

This sturdy vegan wax is a plant-based alternative to beeswax that is often used in lip balms and cosmetics for its hard texture and soothing properties. It forms a protective barrier on the lips that retains moisture and prevents drying out.

Cocoa butter

Cocoa butter is edible and thus a fantastic ingredient in a lip balm. Due to its nourishing properties, cocoa butter helps smooth fine lines on the lips, provides natural protection in all weather conditions, and makes your lip balm taste like chocolate.

Shea Butter

The queen of butters could not be absent in this lip balm. Shea Butter is a natural conditioner for the lips. It intensely hydrates, softens dry and cracked lips, and helps improve the elasticity of the skin on the lips for a fuller and healthier appearance.

Castor Oil

This rich viscous oil is pressed from the seeds of the castor bean plant and is known for its soothing and moisturizing properties. It gives the lip balm extra shine and hydration.

Vitamin E Oil Tocopherol

This powerful antioxidant helps protect against free radicals and improves the texture of your lips. It also ensures that the rest of the ingredients stay fresh longer.

Plump it up Essential Oil Blend

This tingling blend of Sweet Orange and Peppermint stimulates blood circulation in the lips, resulting in a plumping effect. This results in fuller, rosier lips that are kissable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DIY Kit?

DIY means "Do it Yourself" and a DIY Kit contains ingredients, tools, and instructions to make something yourself.

What is the difference between this DIY package and your previous DIY packages?

This DIY Package has the exact quantities measured out for making a precise number of items. So you don't have to calculate this yourself using the recipe; we have already done that for you. Our previous DIY packages were bundles of raw materials that you had to measure yourself.

I don't have a lab at home, is this for me?

We have made the package so that you only need tools that you already have at home, such as a glass, a spoon, and a pan with water. Easy, right?

Why should I buy a DIY kit instead of making the recipe?

This package contains precisely filled test tubes, which means you never make too much or too little. It is a nice way to test this product first and to make your first cosmetics without risk.

I want a different scent or color, can I add that myself?

Certainly, you can personalize this lip balm by adding your own favorite essential oil. You could also add some color in the form of mica powder or oil-based dye.

Be careful with essential oils.

The skin on the lips is thin and therefore sensitive to essential oils. Feel free to add your favorite essential oil, but do so in moderation and pay attention to the following things:

Keep in mind a maximum dosage of 0.5% essential oil per lip balm. That is 0.05 grams per lip balm. This amounts to a maximum of 1 or 2 drops (depending on the essential oil) per lip balm. Measuring is knowing, so we always advise you to use a digital scale when you add this yourself to ensure that you don't cause any irritation on the lips.
Avoid the use of phototoxic oils that contain a high content of Bergapten (furocoumarins), as these can cause irritation on the lips when exposed to the sun. Examples of phototoxic oils are:

Furocoumarins are mainly found in pressed citrus oils but not in all.

The following essential oils are phototoxic, all to varying degrees:

Bergamot
- inci: Citrus bergamia
Citroen, cold pressed
- inci: Citrus limonum
Grapefruit
- inci: Citrus paradisi
Lime, cold-pressed
- inci: Citrus aurantifolia
Opopanax
- inci: Commiphora Guidotti
Orange, bitter / NEROLI / Orange blossom

You can reuse the test tubes by putting cuttings in them in water or seeds in soil. You hang them up using the magnets that are included. Fun, right!

What should I do with the magnets?

Yes! You'll find this here.

How environmentally friendly is the packaging of the DIY kit?

Our package fits through the mailbox, contains only reusable and recycled packaging, and is therefore environmentally friendly!

How does the plumping effect of the lip balm work?

The lip balm contains a drop of Peppermint oil. This oil contains the component menthol. Menthol provides a tingling sensation that temporarily makes your lips appear fuller by causing the blood vessels to dilate and draw more blood to your lips. This causes your lips to swell slightly and become redder, which is what we call the "plumping" effect. The effect lasts for an hour or until you eat again.

Are the ingredients organic?

Our package contains 100% natural ingredients of which 80% are organic.
