It looks like you loved the Frau Litsa treatment series and kept asking me for more products. That's why today I prepared a glossy lip balm with strawberry and rose wax. It gives comfort and light feeling, prevents dryness, softens and rejuvenates the lips, leaving them soft and shiny.
Strawberry seed oil, as we have already said before, is rich in vitamin C and fights free radicals while beeswax and rose wax give rich hydration to the sensitive area of the lips. I also added cupuacu butter, avocado oil and apricot kernel oil because they soothe and protect the lips, vitamin E for its antioxidant properties.

Firstly, you must sterilize tools, equipment and work surface and wear your gloves.
Prepare a water bath, by filling a heat- proof saucepan 1/3 full of water and place it to low heat. Weigh all the ingredients. Add the butters, the oils and the waxes into the beaker. Place it in your prepared water bath to melt everything through.
Remove the beaker from the water bath and dry it off with a towel. Stir with a stainless steel whisk to incorporate. Add vitamin E and stir thoroughly. Pour now the strawberry flavouring oil and stir again.
Pour the lip balm into tubes or tins (this formula will fill 5 balm tubes) and leave it to solidify before capping.
Enjoy!
