🌿 Homemade Healing Lip Balm for a Healthy, Comfortable Mouth

Nourish, soothe, and protect your lips naturally — while supporting oral health.

Dry, cracked lips and mouth irritation can make speaking and eating uncomfortable. Store-bought lip balms often contain artificial flavors, alcohol, or petroleum-based ingredients that can worsen dryness. A homemade lip balm, however, uses natural, nutrient-rich ingredients that hydrate, protect, and even support healing from canker sores and fever blisters.

💋 Benefits of Homemade Lip Balm

Hydration & Protection: Coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax seal in moisture and protect delicate lip skin.

Natural Healing: Lemon balm and tea tree oils contain antiviral properties that help prevent and soothe fever blisters.

Gentle on Sensitive Mouths: No synthetic fragrances or harsh additives that can trigger irritation or burning sensations.

Supports a Healthy Mouth: Keeping lips moisturized prevents cracks where bacteria and viruses can enter.
