Lemon lip balms are a popular choice for keeping lips moisturized and refreshed. They typically contain natural ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil, along with lemon essential oil for a zesty and invigorating scent. Here are a couple of lemon lip balms you might find interesting:

1. Bath & Body Works Lemon Lip Balm [3-Pack]:
   • Formulated with a high concentration of Lemon Oil and Extract, providing a major dose of Vitamin C.
   • Ultra-moisturizing Shea Butter nourishes and conditions lips, leaving them feeling soft and smooth.
   • 100% natural lemon flavor for a tangy burst of freshness.

Ingredients:

1. Beeswax: Beeswax is a skin softener that aids in healing cracked or dry lips. It’s available in yellow or white varieties, both of which are safe for making lip balms.
2. Coconut Oil: Coconut oil moisturizes chapped lips effectively. Use the solid form for this recipe.
3. Jojoba Oil: Jojoba oil hydrates dry skin and is gentle for all skin types.
4. Shea Butter: Shea butter, extracted from the African shea tree, has a rich consistency and is ideal for lip balms.
5. Essential Oil: Choose from distilled lemon or lime essential oil to add a delightful fragrance.

Instructions:

1. Fill a saucepan with about 2 inches of water.
2. Place the beeswax, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and shea butter into a glass container (such as a glass measuring jug).
3. Set the glass container inside the saucepan (double boiler method) and heat the water to melt the ingredients.
4. Once melted, remove from heat and add a few drops of your chosen essential oil (lemon or lime).
5. Stir well and pour the mixture into small lip balm tins or containers.
6. Allow it to cool and solidify before using.
