Make Your Own Sweet as Honey Chamomile & Coconut Sugar Lip Scrub
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp apricot kernel oil (infuse about ¼ cup and use 1 tbsp of the infused oil for this recipe, saving the remainder for another recipe)
- 1 tbsp dried chamomile flowers (for infusion)
- 1 tbsp raw sugar (pantry)
- 1 tsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp raw honey (pantry)
- 1 drop of pure essential oil of choice (optional) - here we used orange essential oil
Method
- Infuse the dried chamomile flowers in the apricot kernel oil for 24-48 hours. Ensure the flowers are fully submerged. Shake occasionally.
- Once the flowers have finished infusing, strain using a fine sieve or hemp coffee filter. Set the oil aside.
- In a small bowl, add the raw sugar and the coconut sugar and stir. Add the infused apricot oil, honey and essential oil if using. Stir to just combine. Add a little more apricot oil if needed.
How To Use
This recipe makes enough for one application. This is best used once freshly made. Using your fingers, gently rub a small amount all over your lips. Massage in circular motions for a minute or two. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry. Follow with a natural moisturising lip balm, such as our nourishing peppermint lavender lip balm. Although it smells nice, this lip scrub is not suitable for consumption!Disclaimer
As with all our DIY recipes, you can experiment to suit your preferences. Many factors can change the end result, including temperature, humidity, light, ingredient quality. Some DIYs can be amended by remelting or adding ingredients, but some cannot. Please read the whole recipe before beginning and remember to have fun!
Biome cannot issue a refund if the DIY skin care product, DIY hair care product or DIY body care product you make using our raw DIY ingredients do not perform as you'd hoped. We will, however, offer a refund if the raw DIY ingredient packaging is broken or leaking, or the ingredient itself appears to be ‘off'.
Before using any raw DIY ingredient for the first time, please first research that ingredient's potential benefits as well as safety precautions and possible side effects. Check with your medical professional if you have any concerns.
If you have severe acne, very sensitive skin, or another skin concern or health condition, we recommend seeking medical advice before using any new product on your skin, whether that be a raw ingredient, a DIY product you've made yourself, or commercially formulated product.
Please exercise caution when using essential oils. If you are pregnant or have any kind of health or skin condition, we recommend you speak to your doctor before use. Essential oils are highly concentrated liquids, so use in moderation. Pure essential oils should never be used directly on the skin and should never be ingested. When using an essential oil for the first time, do a skin patch test. Each essential oil is unique and may not be suited to everyone. Please research potential benefits as well as safety precautions before using any essential oil. Some essential oils may interfere with medication. Check with your medical professional if you have any concerns.
