WHY MAKE A LIP BALM AT HOME?

1. Customized to your preference:

Your handmade Lip Balm is tailor-made to suit your specific needs and preferences. You can make a tinted one, add a flavor of your choice, or keep it basic by going pigment-free and fragrance-free.

2. Natural Ingredients:

A handmade lip balm can help you keep a check on the ingredients used. You can ensure they are 100% plant-based and natural along with sourcing your ingredients from a reliable manufacturer who promises the highest standard of quality.

3. Cost Effective:

An average store-bought lip balm of 6 grams costs you between Rs. 200 to Rs. 350 at least. Most of them come with chemical fillers that help stabilize them for a longer shelf life. Additionally, they are made in large batches and may not be as fresh as you’d like them to be. Whereas, a basic homemade lip balm tube of 5 grams costs you Rs. 60 only, and you can make it in small batches of 4 tubes of 6 grams each and refill the same over time.

4. Eco Friendly:

Making your Lip Balm at home is very eco-friendly as you help reduce plenty of plastic waste and other waste involved in the packaging of the product. Furthermore, you can easily avoid all the harsh and harmful chemicals that threaten the well-being of our planet.

5. Unique and Exclusive Gift:

A handmade Lip Balm is a very thoughtful, unique, and exclusive gift for your loved ones. You may add it to your festive hamper, your corporate gifts, and your personalized gift box, or give it as part of a party return favor.

6. Fun and Engaging Process:

Making your Lip Balm is a creative learning experience that helps you engage in your personal grooming and skincare journey.
