How to make a honey lip balm with Cryptohoney for soft, hydrated lips



Honey is a natural humectant, which means it can help to lock in moisture and keep your lips hydrated. Here's how to make a DIY honey lip balm with Cryptohoney's honey at home:

You will need:

  • 1 tablespoon of beeswax pellets

  • 1 tablespoon of coconut oil

  • 1 tablespoon of Cryptohoney

  • 1/2 teaspoon of vitamin E oil (optional)

  • A few drops of essential oil for flavor (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the beeswax pellets and coconut oil together, stirring occasionally.

  2. Once the mixture is melted, add the Cryptohoney and vitamin E oil (if using), and stir until well combined.

  3. If desired, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for flavor. Peppermint, lavender, or vanilla are all great options.

  4. Pour the mixture into small lip balm containers or empty lip balm tubes.

  5. Allow the lip balm to cool and harden for at least 30 minutes before using.


This honey lip balm with Cryptohoney can help to soothe and hydrate dry, chapped lips, leaving them feeling soft and smooth. Apply the lip balm as needed throughout the day for best results.
