1. Butter
There are many kinds of butters that can be used in a DIY lip balm recipe. Each butter offers its own set of unique properties. Nevertheless, the main purpose of a butter being added to a DIY lip balm recipe is to condition and moisturize the lips. A butter is solid at room temperature. So, it can also assist with making a solid DIY lip balm.
2. Oil
There are also many types of oils with a variety of skin care benefits. An oil is liquid at room temperature. So, it can be used to help the DIY lip balm glide across your lips easily. Its main role is to condition and moisturize the lips as well.
3. Wax
The beeswax is a moisture retention ingredient. It helps the lips retain moisture and can pull moisture from the air to the lips. Beeswax can also serve as a protective layer on the lips in harsh winter weather. However, in some cases, you may not want to add wax, so you can make a vegan DIY lip balm recipe without beeswax.
At this point, after melting a combination of butter, oil, and wax, you can have your very own DIY lip balm! Now, you can easily prevent dry chapped lips or remedy the situation with one of the DIY lip balms.
