Aloe Vera And Coconut Lip Salve Lip Salve is technically a lip balm with a few extra beneficial properties. The difference between balm and salve is that balms are typically fragrant and hydrating, but are not made with the intention to "mend" a topical ailment. The beneficial properties of a salve will come from the herbs infused into the oil and the plant extractions added that otherwise may not be incorporated into a balm. So, while this product is indeed a balm, it is technically an all purpose salve designed for your lips!
Below you will find the recipe for Lip Salve. But first, here are some tips for how to use this product. Tip 1: Keep salve in a pocket
Our salve is conveniently poured into a circular tin. The tin containers we use are quite flat and non-irritating, making them a comfortable fit for a pants pocket. Keeping the salve in your pocket will also allow the product to adjust to your body temperature. Body temperature is the ideal temperature for a perfect application. Tip 2: Kiss the Salve
Because our lip salve is not in a push-style tube container like many popular chapsticks, the easiest way to extract the salve from the container onto your lips is to simply give the salve a kiss. Pucker up! |
These recipes have been tailored with the intention of enabling the average person to create them in their kitchen.

HOW TO MAKE Lip Salve
The recipe is virtually open-ended, meaning you can exchange our herbal extract, oil, and butter suggestions with any other desired combination of ingredients. It is important to note that we measure nearly all of our ingredients by weight. This ensures that the amount of oil and beeswax used will consistently yield the desired texture. However, just how one can exchange our herbal suggestions, you may also change our desired oil-to-wax levels to create a salve more comfortable for you.
One important note! We have changed this recipe from our original formula. We have removed the cocoa butter. If you would like to add cocoa butter, simply subtract the weight of the butter from the total oil used. For example: .35 oz coconut oil would become .25 coconut oil and .1 oz cocoa butter. Have fun!

Lip Salve Recipe: Aloe Vera Coconut Lip Salve
- yield approx. .60 ounces
Ingredients:
- .35 oz coconut oil
- .15 oz beeswax
- 2 count vitamin e oil
- 5 drops / .25 tsp aloe Vera apple cider vinegar
- 3 drops lemon balm extract
Tools/Equipment:
- double boiling system
- electric or gas stove (hot plate)
- metal or other appropriate measuring container(s),
- spatula
- scale for measuring ingredients
- containers for lip salve
- immersion/stick blender
Directions
- Weigh out ingredients and set aside.
- Melt together in a single bowl the coconut oil, cacao butter, and beeswax over a double boiling system.
- While ingredients are melting, organize and sanitize your containers (i.e. wipe out the inside of each container and lid with apple cider vinegar and a towel. Leave containers open, ready to fill with salve)
- After oils have melted together, remove from heat and set on a heat-safe surface.
- Add vitamin e oil and apple cider vinegar extract
- Blend thoroughly with immersion blender until the salve begins to cool and thicken. Roughly 145 degrees F. If creating a single batch, mixing with a spoon is fine as well.
- Pouring temperature is important. If your salve is too hot, the vinegar will not emulsify with the oil and will separate once poured into the container resulting in a froth on top. This result is okay, but it is not ideal.
- Pour the salve into a container. If necessary, use a spatula to clean the bowl free of any remaining salve.
- Let cool before sealing with a lid.
