Basic Lip Balm Recipe
Your lips deserve the best: a natural, nourishing, and gentle formula. With this simple recipe, you can create your own solid and creamy lip balm, fully customizable with your favorite essential oils. It pairs perfectly with our refillable lip balm applicators for a zero-waste and mess-free application.
Ingredients:
- 5 ml shea butter
- 5 ml candelilla wax
- 5 ml coconut oil
- 2.5 ml carrier oil (jojoba, almond, avocado)
- 1–2 drops essential oil (optional)
Instructions:
- Melt the solids: In a small bowl or mini saucepan, gently melt the shea butter, candelilla wax, and coconut oil over low heat until smooth.
- Add the liquid oils: Remove from heat and stir in the carrier oil and essential oil until fully combined.
- Pour into the container: Immediately pour into the KIIMA DIY mold.
- Let it set: Allow to cool at room temperature for 1–2 hours, or refrigerate for 30 minutes until solidified.
- Assemble: Insert a refill into the KIIMA rechargeable lip balm applicator. Your balm is ready to use!
Texture Tip:
For a softer, creamier balm, slightly reduce the wax or increase the coconut oil (e.g., 2.5 ml wax + 7 ml coconut oil + 5 ml shea butter). For a firmer balm, increase the wax and reduce the oil (e.g., 7 ml wax + 2.5 ml coconut oil + 5 ml shea butter).
Creating your own lip balm is simple and rewarding. But if you’re short on time or prefer a ready-to-use product, our KIIMA lip balm refills are naturally formulated and ready to go. Just insert them into your refillable applicator for nourishing, responsible hydration, without compromising your lips or the planet.
