Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to natural skincare and personal care, specifically focusing on a herbal lip balm formulated to address dry and chapped lips. This product combines moisturizing and antimicrobial properties, providing comprehensive lip care using natural ingredients such as coconut oil, grape extract, kokum extract, and sour orange oil.

The Crafted for Care Herbal Lip Balm is a unique formulation that combines natural extracts of coconut oil, grape extract, kokum extract, and sour orange oil to provide effective lip care. The formulation process starts with high-quality ingredients that undergo careful extraction to preserve their beneficial properties. Coconut oil serves as the base, offering a rich emollient effect that locks in moisture and reduces inflammation. Its lauric acid content provides natural antibacterial benefits, which help in maintaining lip health by preventing infection.
Grape extract is added for its antioxidant properties, derived from its polyphenols, which help protect the skin from oxidative stress. The extract also conditions the lips, improving their texture and elasticity, making them look smooth and healthy. Kokum extract, another essential ingredient, acts as a moisturizer that forms a barrier on the lips, preventing moisture loss and keeping lips hydrated throughout the day. This emollient is particularly beneficial for individuals prone to dry and flaky lips.
Sour orange oil adds both fragrance and antimicrobial properties to the balm. This essential oil is known for its antiseptic qualities, which help prevent bacterial growth, thus providing a natural defense against potential infections. The sour orange oil's pleasant aroma enhances the sensory experience, making the lip balm appealing for daily use.
To prepare the lip balm, coconut oil is gently heated to a liquid state, then combined with beeswax to provide structure and stability. After melting, the grape extract and kokum extract are blended in to ensure an even consistency. Sour orange oil is added last to preserve its volatile compounds. The mixture is then poured into molds and cooled to create a solid balm, ready for packaging. Quality control checks, including pH and viscosity, are performed to confirm stability and safety. This herbal lip balm provides a holistic approach to lip care, addressing moisture, protection, and aesthetic appeal, suitable for consumers of all ages.
