Edible Lip Balm

These lip balms were formulated after reading the ingredients on a lip balm we used ourselves during a long car trip. The feel of the lip balms we used to use were great. The chemicals used were not. Especially on lips where most of the product is eventually eaten. Chemicals can build up in the body over time. What for years might be harmless, can all of a sudden cause a reaction.
We have made a lip balms that feel similar to our favorite lip balms from before. However, because we make it for our own use, the ingredients are all edible.
We have three types of edible lip balm:
- Cow Lick balm is an edible balm to keep lips moist and healthy; and
- Tingling Honey Lips is designed to help restore sun damaged lips to smooth health. There is a cool tingling sensation when applied.
- Tinted lip balm that is moisturising and conditioning plus gives a very subtle and natural looking colour to the lips.
(Please note the absence of any "kissable" puns.)
Why we don’t use Camphor in Lip Balms
Lethal doses of Camphor adults are in the range 50–500 mg/kg (orally). Generally, two grams cause serious toxicity and four grams are potentially lethal.
In 1980, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration set a limit of 11% allowable camphor in consumer products, and totally banned products labelled as camphorated oil, camphor oil, camphor liniment, and camphorated liniment (except "white camphor essential oil", which contains no significant amount of camphor).
* All natural products should be patch tested on a small area of skin first to ensure there is not allergy to any of the natural ingredients.
