Skiminims Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 So a friend of mine asked me if there is a product out there that can moisturize both hands and lips. I've only really tapped into melt and pour soaping, so I have no idea about balms or lotions at the moment.She's looking for a product that can be used on both hands and lips to moisturize. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekeeper_sd Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yes it is. Actually, my lip balm and lotion bar recipes are basically the same with the exception of a few essential oils. I have also had a lot of people, usually men, who use my lotion on their lips. Outside of the taste, I don't see why it would hurt anything.

sockmonkey Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yes, it's possible. You're forgetting about shea butter, mango butter, etc. You can apply the butters exactly as they are to lips or skin, or you can make lotion bars out of them by adding products like beeswax and other moisturizing oils (but no fragrance oils or colorants).

Skiminims Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Wow, I would have never thought about that. Great idea! I'll let her know. Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 just don't add fragrance oil instead of flavor oil...fragrance is not intended for lips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcrafter Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Why not? My Comfrey Calendula Salve is the base for my lip balms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
