MAKING YOUR OWN LIP BALM WITH SHEA BUTTER


Your lips are the most alluring trait on your face.  Don’t you want them to be soft, healthy, kissable and plump?  We believe you do.

The most moisturizing lip balm for your kisser is one that includes Raw Shea Butter.  Raw Shea Butter is loaded with nutrients like Omega 6, Omega 9, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, loads of unique anti-oxidants and minerals like Copper, Iron and Magnesium. These nutrients deeply nourish the delicate skin of your lips.

The fatty acids provide unparalleled moisture, smoothing roughness and healing cracks. The vitamins and antioxidants plump and protect against aging. Raw Shea Butter’s minerals support structural integrity so your lips don’t thin or sag.

Raw Shea Butter Lip Balms aren’t really totally available in widespread production.  So for you to give your precious lips the highest level of care, you’ll need to make your own!
