This recipe is not only moisturizing for chapped lips, but it also includes essential oils that help to keep cold sores at bay. References:

Inspired by the K-Beauty method of double cleansing, or 1:1 Method, which focuses on massaging the products into the skin for 1 full minute for each cleansing step. This ensures that the multiple layers of skin care, makeup, dirt, and oils are all thoroughly removed. Using the 1:1 Method is the key in achieving hydrated, bouncy, clean skin. Yes, it is safe. The formula has many soothing ingredients, papaya enzymes are a gentle smoothing ingredient, and it is tested to be safe for sensitive skin and eyes. Tests results TBD before launch. What is the optimal environment for this cleanser? Hemp seed – Rich in essential fatty acids, hemp seed oil gently conditions skin and leaves lips feeling soft, smooth, and nourished. Coconut flower sugar provides physical exfoliation to gently remove dead skin while providing hydration, while coconut oil deeply moisturizes while preventing further dryness and flaking. Flower-derived AHACamellia – Camellia oil has been proven to reduce the signs of aging and increase collagen production [ source ], making lips look fuller.

Lavender – Lavender essential oil has been shown to improve wound healing and boost collagen production [ source ]. How do I add flavor ? PEGs (Polyethylene Glycol) are used as effective ingredients for makeup removal and can cause sensitivity when consistently used, especially for sensitive skin. Since face + eyes are such delicate skin, we chose to formulate without any PEGs. Instead, we used Sorbitan Oleate, a solubilizer extracted from olive, and other oils that work together to effectively remove the makeup. Since it exfoliates, is it safe for everyday (and 2x a day) use?

Flavor oils – Most flavored cosmetics contain what’s called “flavor oils” to get their taste. You can find common flavors such as peppermint, lemon, and vanilla online or at your local craft store. Just be forewarned, commercial flavor oils aren’t considered nontoxic like natural spices are.
