Homemade Lip Balm and Body Balm.

I love homemade cosmetics, so I do it quite often.The ingredients are simple and it really doesn’t take much time.

I love that all the ingredients are completely natural and good for me. The beeswax provides a tiny bit of sun protection naturally { not replace a sunscreen }. The rest of the ingredients are perfect for dry skin.

what you'll need for BODY BALM

• 0.5 %  coconut butter
• 95 %  shea butter
• 4.5 % cocoa butter

what you'll need for LIP BALM

• 0.3 %  almond oil
• 0.2 % coconut butter

  Play with the ingredients to get what you want.

BODY BALM do the same. According to me, balm in these proportions are great for the face, hands and feet. If you want to used the lotion easier to add more coconut butter.
