Lip-balms can sometimes be quite expensive, so I recommend making your own ones. Plus, this way you know what is in your lip balm which you are putting on your lips.
The main ingredient is Vaseline. Vaseline is exactly the same as petroleum jelly, it's just that Vaseline is branded. Vaseline can be use on other things and not just lips. It can be used anywhere on the skin as a heavier moisturiser or it can help to protect minor cuts and burns.
Other things that you will need:
- heater (microwave/double boiler)
- lipstick (optional)
- scented oils/flavourings (optional)
Melt your Vaseline in a heat proof container.
Add in your lipstick to make it tinted.
Add in your flavourings e.g cinnamon or vanilla essence
Pour into a container, leave it to cool on a counter and then use. Since lip balms have no water in them, they will preserve for a long (12 months) time unlike cream.
