Alchemme’s Lip Balm Base is a rich, protective blend designed to deeply nourish and soothe dry, chapped lips. This ready-to-use base features a balanced combination of natural oils, butters, and beeswax that glides on smoothly, seals in moisture, and leaves lips soft and hydrated. Ideal for makers, brands, or DIY creators, this base can be used on its own or customised with flavours, colour, and botanical actives to create a completely bespoke lip product. With a smooth, balm-like texture and gentle emollient profile, it’s suitable for all seasons and all skin types.

Suggested Additions and Quantities (per 100g of base):

  • Flavour Oils or Essential Oils (e.g., Peppermint, Vanilla, Strawberry)
    Add 0.5g to 1g
    (Ensure oils are lip-safe and follow IFRA guidelines.)

  • Botanical Extracts (e.g., Calendula, Chamomile, Kakadu Plum)
    Add 0.5g to 1g
    (Use oil-soluble or carrier-based extracts for even blending.)

  • Natural Colourants (e.g., Mica, Beetroot Powder, Alkanet Root)
    Add 0.1g to 0.5g
    (Adjust for subtle tint or stronger colour. Mix thoroughly for even dispersion.)

  • Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
    Add 0.5g to 1g
    (Boosts antioxidant protection and supports lip health.)

  • Plant Oils or Actives (e.g., Rosehip Oil, Sea Buckthorn, Lanolin)
    Add 1g to 3g
    (Enhance moisturising properties or add extra richness.)


Tips for Success:

  • Avoid adding water-based ingredients, as they can destabilise the balm.

  • Always test your final product for consistency, stability, and scent strength.

  • Store in a cool, dry place and ensure all containers are clean and dry before filling.

Customising the Lip Balm Base

Alchemme’s Lip Balm Base is a versatile, ready-made formulation perfect for makers, hobbyists, or small brands looking to create high-quality lip products with ease. This rich, nourishing base is made from a blend of natural waxes, oils, and butters—ready to use as-is, or completely customisable to suit your brand or personal preferences.

How to Customise:

  1. Gently Melt the Base
    Place the lip balm base in a heat-safe container and warm it using a double boiler until fully melted. Stir occasionally and keep the temperature below 70°C to preserve the benefits of any natural ingredients.

  2. Stir in Your Additives
    Once melted, remove from heat and quickly stir in your chosen custom ingredients before pouring into lip balm tubes or pots.
