Lip Nourishing C/S Lip Balm

$5.00

Moisturizing & preventative c/s lip balm.

When this recipe popped into my head I was trying to help a family member that struggled with cold sores. I researched scientific articles on specific oils that were shown to have positive effects on the Herpes virus. I am not claiming this lip balm treats or heals anything, but I use it to stave off outbreaks.

The essential oils in this blend are historically known for soothing and potentially helping to prevent cold sores. Coconut oil and beeswax provide a moisturizing base that protects the skin, while vitamin E promotes healing and skin health. Melissa oil, in particular, has been traditionally used for its antiviral properties, specifically against the herpes simplex virus, which causes cold sores. Eucalyptus globulus and tea tree essential oils are also noted for their antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce outbreaks and ease discomfort. Sandalwood and frankincense bring additional soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that help calm the skin, making this blend a historically valued remedy for maintaining healthy, resilient lips against cold sores.

  1. This blend is sun sensitive so should not be worn if you will be out in the sun for prolonged periods of time and not within 12 hours of use. Never use a tanning bed if you are using any product with essential oils.
  2. I like to pair this lip balm with the Great Balls of Fire, First Aid (which I use as a face oil for acne) and Relaxy Bath.

Lip Nourishing C/S Lip Balm: Moisturizing & Preventative Care

($5 | 5.5 ml)

I created this balm for a family member who struggled with cold sores. After researching scientific studies on essential oils with antiviral potential, this recipe took shape. However, I’m not claiming it heals or treats anything, but I personally use it to help stave off outbreaks in and among my family members and friends.

Nature’s Protective Blend

Coconut oil and beeswax form a hydrating base that seals in moisture and shields lips from environmental stress. Vitamin E oil supports healing and keeps skin healthy. While melissa oil, historically prized for its antiviral properties, has been used in traditional herbalism for centuries against the herpes simplex virus. Eucalyptus globulus and tea tree oils bring additional antiviral and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping soothe irritation. Sandalwood and frankincense add calming, skin-comforting effects that complete this powerhouse blend.

A Tradition of Soothing Care

Folklore tells us Melissa, also known as lemon balm, was cultivated in medieval monastery gardens as a “balm for the heart and spirit” — and for the skin. Tea tree has long been a go-to in Australian bush medicine for its cleansing and restorative powers. These time-honored uses inspired the balancing, comforting nature of this lip balm.

Use With Care

This blend is sun-sensitive. So avoid prolonged sun exposure for 12 hours after application, and never use before tanning. It’s best suited for indoor days, cooler months, or evenings.

I like pairing Lip Nourishing C/S Lip Balm with Great Balls of Fire, First Aid (my go-to face oil for acne), and Relaxy Bath for a complete skin-soothing routine.
