We've perfected our balm recipe over the years, this one is soft & creamy while still holding it's 'balm' texture. Your lips will be in love!
You can customize this balm base with any essential oils you'd like. We chose Blood Orange and Myrrh to compliment the Vanilla Infusion we made in our last Alchemy Workshop.
If you don't have an infused oil, you can use pure Jojoba Oil. Our Jojoba Rose, Jojoba Neroli & Jojoba Sandalwood also make great options, to boost the healing action & the aroma.
