When you use essential oils on your lips, the oils to use are peppermint oil, spearmint, lavender oil, grapefruit, cinnamon, rosemary, lemon, sweet orange, ginger, clove, frankincense, myrrh, chamomile, ginger, vanilla and cardamom oil.
Stay away from Tea Tree oil, lime, lemon, bergamot, eucalyptus or camphor oil, as these should not be ingested and can irritate the skin around the lips and make them worse.

A question that arises over and over again with those who want to make their own lip balm at home is “How much flavor should I add to my lip balm?”
With essential oils, a little goes a long way so there’s no need to get a lot of essential oils into your lip balm. Be easy on the amount you use. General rule of thumb is to use a 1% dilution, which means 1 drop per teaspoon of your base ingredients. You can slowly work up to a 3% dilution or 3 drops per teaspoon of base ingredients, but you want to watch out for your lips to interact with it well enough before you begin using more. Although I don’t think there is an allergic reaction to using any natural ingredient – some people might have a reaction or react badly to one drop of the wrong kind of oil based on what you put on and in your body on a regular basis. But, my rule here, is just to start dabbling with it and make your own lip balm and start to make it stronger as you go with the results you get, you might want to add more sweet orange because you like it a lot, or spearmint because you like it. Otherwise, just a base ingredient and a small amount is perfect for making your own lip balm.

How to Use Essential Oils on Lips
An easier way is just diluting them in a suitable carrier oil like olive oil or coconut oil and applying them to your lips as you would any chap stick. Only this balm is 100% great for your lips instead of having all sorts of added ingredients that are actually bad for your lips and are actually drying them out and keeping people addicted to the balm that they make. The added alcohol for an example is NOT good for your lips at all. Why it’s in there, I have no answer for you there. I think it’s just an added ingredient to make your lip balms spread out better so they make more money, and to get people addicted to using them as your lips are going to feel silky smooth at first and dry out later on so you keep adding more of their products to your lips while not knowing that what you’re doing is hurting your lips and not actually helping them.
To make a simple coconut / essential oil balm for glossy, moisturized kissable lips, is simple. Get a small container and add 2 Tablespoons of coconut oil (melted) and add 5 drops of your favorite essential oils from the list up above. My favorite is peppermint or sweet orange and I like to keep things simple so that I can feel the benefits from each one that I make. Also, lavender is a great one as it leaves your lips to react in a way that makes them plump, silky soft and smooth. It’s a great kissing agent as it makes your lips irresistible and luscious. Play around with it and find the one that you like best and enjoy healthy looking lips for your next kissing session! Your partner is going to love your lips when you even use sweet orange oils on them as it’s going to make you taste great while they gnash away at your lips.
So, all in all, happy love life to all and hope that you all get your kissing on. It’s a great medication for depression and helps anxiety and ease even pain away – just kissing. So, Kiss the one that you love! Kiss them with your new experience with your new healthy lips!
