DIY cherry cocoa butter

Do you want to have soft and moisturized lips with a 100% natural cherry lip balm? Then you’re in the right place! In this article, we’ll show you how to make homemade cherry lip balm, using natural and easy-to-find ingredients

Materials needed:

• 1 tablespoon of shea butter
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon sweet almond oil
• 1 tablespoon beeswax
• 1 teaspoon of cherry seed oil
• 5-6 drops of cherry essential oil
• 1 container for chapstick

Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. Shea butter and beeswax can be found in natural products stores or online. Coconut oil, sweet almond oil, cherry seed oil, and cherry essential oil can be found in health food stores or herbalist stores.

Proceedings

Step 1 – Bain-marie

Fill a pot with some water and set it to heat over medium-low heat. Prepare a heat-resistant container, such as a glass or steel bowl, and place it over the pot, creating a water bath. Make sure the bottom of the container does not touch the water.

Step 2 – Dissolve the ingredients

Add the shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax to the water bath container. Stir gently until all the ingredients have completely melted and combined. Be sure to keep a low temperature to avoid damaging the properties of the oils.

Step 3 – Adding the oils

Once the shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax have melted, remove the container from the water bath. Add the sweet almond oil and cherry seed oil, stirring well to evenly distribute the oils in the mixture. Then add an additional 5-6 drops of cherry essential oil to the mixture and stir gently. The essential oil will give the lip balm a delicious scent. If you prefer a more intense scent, you can add a few more drops, but be careful not to overdo it.

Step 5 – Pour into the container

Pour the liquid mixture into the container for the lip balm. Make sure the container is clean and sterilized beforehand. Let the mixture cool at room temperature until it solidifies completely, it will take about 1-2 hours.

Usage:

Once the lip balm has solidified, you can use it regularly on your lips. Apply a small amount of cherry lip balm to your lips and spread gently. Enjoy the hydration, softness and most importantly, the delicious scent!
