Origin stories
Lip oil, much like many of our modern beauty products, can trace its origins back to ancient times. The Egyptians, renowned for their elaborate beauty rituals, were known to use various oils on their lips for protection and aesthetic purposes. Cleopatra, one of the most famous figures in history, was said to have her own special lip balm made from beeswax, olive oil and a dash of crimson berries to give her lips a tantalizingly red hue. In this DIY lip oil recipe, we echo these age-old beauty traditions, combining natural oils for their nourishing properties. The peppermint oil included is a nod to the ancient Greeks and Romans who would use mint in their perfumes and skincare for its refreshing properties. So, when using this lip oil, not only are you nourishing your lips, but also partaking in a beauty ritual that spans centuries and civilizations!
