To make Coca Cola lip balm, you will need the following ingredients:
1. Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil: This oil acts as a moisturizer for the lips and helps to keep them hydrated.
2. Cetyl Acetate: Cetyl acetate is a wax-like substance that gives the lip balm its smooth texture and helps it to adhere to the lips.
3. Beeswax/Cire d'Abeille: Beeswax is a natural ingredient that provides a protective barrier on the lips, preventing moisture loss and keeping them soft and supple.
4. Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax/Cire de Candelilla: Candelilla wax is a plant-based alternative to beeswax and helps to thicken the lip balm.
5. Flavor/Aroma: The flavor and aroma of Coca Cola can be added to the lip balm using a food-grade flavoring or fragrance oil. This gives the lip balm its distinct Coca Cola scent.
6. Polybutene: Polybutene is a synthetic polymer that adds shine and gloss to the lip balm.
7. Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil: Sesame seed oil is rich in antioxidants and helps to nourish and protect the lips from environmental damage.
8. Propylene Glycol: Propylene glycol acts as a humectant, drawing moisture to the lips and keeping them hydrated.
9. Ozokerite: Ozokerite is a mineral wax that helps to stabilize the lip balm and give it a smooth texture.
10. Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire de Carnauba: Carnauba wax is another natural wax that provides hardness and stability to the lip balm.
11. Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol: Acetylated lanolin alcohol is derived from lanolin, a natural oil from sheep's wool. It acts as a moisturizer and emollient, keeping the lips soft and smooth.
12. Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Vitamin E is added to the lip balm for its antioxidant properties, which help to protect the lips from free radicals and environmental damage.
To make the lip balm, follow these steps:
1. In a heat-resistant container, combine 1 tablespoon of Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, 1 tablespoon of Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, and 1 tablespoon of Beeswax/Cire d'Abeille.
2. Place the container in a double boiler or microwave and heat until the ingredients are melted and well combined. If using a microwave, heat in short intervals, stirring in between to prevent overheating.
3. Once melted, remove the container from heat and add 1 teaspoon of Cetyl Acetate, 1 teaspoon of Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax/Cire de Candelilla, and 1 teaspoon of Ozokerite. Stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Next, add 1/2 teaspoon of Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire de Carnauba and 1/2 teaspoon of Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
5. Add a few drops of Coca Cola flavoring or fragrance oil to the mixture, adjusting the amount according to your preference for scent. Stir well to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the lip balm.
6. add 1/2 teaspoon of Propylene Glycol and a few drops of Tocopherol (Vitamin E) oil. Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed.
7. Pour the mixture into lip balm tubes or containers and allow it to cool and solidify completely before using.
