Famous Java Juice Lip Balm

Finished Lip Balm

Here at last, here at last, thank heavens it is here at last! What am I talking about? Why, the famous Java Juice Lip Balm recipe! I have been begging the R&D team for the ability to share this fabulous recipe and they have finally given permission. Wahoo! Come join me for a great recipe. I am very partial to this recipe. It is creamy but very firm, great tasting and it is vegan! I think this lip balm is popular with both men and women because it has a smooth after-feel but is not glossy. It is also very durable. Once applied, it isn’t moving.

It passes the pocket test with flying colors and I can’t wait to give it away! (Our graphic department even came up with a really cute label for it!) If you want one of our famous Java Juice Lip Balms, request one in your next order!

Recipe:

Weighing Oils

Weigh everything into a microwave safe container. Heat gently until everything is liquid. If you have a few stubborn pieces of wax, remove the container from the microwave and stir until melted. Pour the lip balm into your containers. If you are using tubes, you can either pipette the lip balm into the tubes, or you can use one of our fabulous filling trays! Allow the lip balm to cool. Cap and enjoy!

Weighing Oils

The lip balm recipe really showcases the Coffee Butter, but there are a few other ingredients I want to talk about.

The first one is Soy Wax. Soy Wax has a melting temperature similar to beeswax but is far more brittle. This is nice when formulating firmer products when you don’t want to raise the melting temperature.

Next is Castor Oil. In my opinion, Castor Oil is a must in any lip balm formulation. Castor Oil provides that smooth, satin glide that we all like. Check out the label of your favorite lip balm. You just may find castor on the label.

I also used Cranberry Seed Oil. Cranberry Seed Oil is one of the special luxury oils that

seems to be overlooked. I mean, we are all familiar with cranberries. It just doesn’t seem as exotic as Kukui Oil or Shea Butter. Overlook no longer! Cranberry Seed Oil is high in essential fatty acids that are great for the skin.

The last ingredient I wanted to touch on was Conditioning Emulsifying Wax. This

Melted Lip Balm

may seem like a really strange ingredient in a lip balm. Here is why this recipe uses Conditioning Emulsifying Wax. Conditioning Emulsifying Wax adds emolliency. It adds a nice, velvety feel to the finished lip balm.

I will be sending over 100 of these lip balms to the shipping department. Request one in your next order! You don’t want to miss out!
