    Why Hemp Oil?

    Hemp oil is excellent for hydrating your lips. It has a very rich nutritional profile, containing useful bioactive components and fatty acids like omega 3, 6, 9, and linoleic acid. It also has vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C, D, E, and minerals like iron, calcium, copper, iodine, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, chlorophyll, and fiber. Fatty acids are key components of the cells that make up the outer layer of the skin. These are important nutrients for cell health that help dry and chapped lips.

    Recipe for Hemp Balm with Chamomile

    Ingredients:

    • 1/4 cup beeswax (or candelilla wax for a vegan alternative)
    • 1/4 cup shea butter
    • 1/4 cup CBD coconut oil
    • 1/4 cup hemp oil
    • 3 tablespoons dry chamomile blossoms
    • 15 drops of essential orange oil
    • 12 drops of essential cinnamon oil

    Preparation:

    1. Infuse Hemp Oil:

      • Place the chamomile blossoms in a large jar and add the hemp oil. Close the lid and shake gently for a few minutes. Set aside and let sit for one day.
      • The next day, strain the oil through a fine sieve into another jar or mug. Squeeze the excess oil from the blossoms. You should have about two tablespoons of infused oil.

    2. Melt Ingredients:

      • Prepare a pan and place the jar with the beeswax, shea butter, and CBD coconut oil in it. Add 5 cm of water to the pan.
      • Heat slowly and stir until the mixture melts. Then remove from heat.

    3. Combine and Pour:

      • Mix the infused hemp oil with the essential oils and stir well.
      • Carefully pour the mixture into 15 ml reusable jars or lip balm tubes. Let cool and harden.

    Usage and Storage

    This recipe makes enough balm to fill 15 jars of 15 ml each. You can also store the mixture in a larger jar. Use as needed to keep your lips hydrated and smooth. Store in a cool place and avoid direct sunlight. The balm should be used within 6 to 9 months.
