Super Healing Cold Sore Lip Balm

Step 2 – Make the Lip Balm

I use a general lip balm recipe of: 3 parts oil, 1 part beeswax, 1/2 to 1 part solid butter and roughly 1 to 2 drops of each essential oil per tablespoon of ingredients.
If you’d like a softer lip balm, use less beeswax. Conversely, if you’d like a firmer lip balm, use more beeswax. Keep in mind that we want our balm soft enough to apply with a clean finger or cotton swab, so we avoid contaminating our product.

Super Healing Cold Sore Lip Balm Recipe

• 4 tablespoons lemon balm infused oil
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of coconut oil (if allergic, just substitute more lemon balm oil)
• 1/2 tablespoon tamanu oil (an amazing oil that heals a multitude of skin conditions)
• 1/2 tablespoon castor oil (helps the lip balm go on smoothly, adds a bit of gloss)
• 2 scant tablespoons beeswax (or half as much candelilla wax for vegans)
• 1 tablespoon shea butter (or mango butter)
• 15 drops tea tree oil (also effective against herpes simplex, see this study)
• 25 drops of peppermint essential oil (cooling, analgesic, I put extra so the lip balm can smell great!)
• 2 drops of clove bud oil (optional, for pain relief)
