Lip Balm DIY with Zytia

For the longest time, I wanted to make my own lip balm. Over the summer, I had frequent cold sores, been a lip bitter since forever and often switched lip balms. I wanted to go through the process of selecting my own herbs, going through the infusion process, and creating a lip balm that I can trust but ultimately I know the ingredients.


In 2022, I invested in the best black wholistic healing and herbal books simply as household staples. Started watching Yahki Awakened and began investing in a new perspective towards health and therefore began investing in herbs and carrier oils such as olive, grapeseed, and coconut oil. I started the process by infusing the herbs since I had herb, glass canisters and grapeseed oil on hand. Allowed for it to infused over 3 to 4 months, purchased the beeswax, containers and double burner from Amazon.com and here we are.


I used Milk thistle, chamomile, red clover, and yarrow infused in grapeseed oil.
