I'm allergic to many ingredients in modern products (primarily salicylic acid and sodium laurel sulfate, however I have a large list of ingredients to avoid unfortunately), therefore having the option to actually make and use all natural beauty products has saved my life. One of the websites that lists ingredients found in beauty products and it's adverse reactions is Toxic Beauty.
I started all of my chap-sticks out with beeswax and coconut oil then experimented with different combinations of essential oils. My favorite combination is pure lavender oil, jojoba oil, calendula oil, vitamin E oil, and vanilla oil. I also like to add organic white tea powder, wild rose extract, and rosewater for different beneficial reasons.
This concoction also gives off the most intoxicating all-natural scent.
I made each label easily with decorative paper, X-acto knife and Mod Podge.
I've also made lip balms with real boiled fruits such as this one featuring cranberries.
