Almond Oil and Beeswax are the key ingredients in all of Ayur Herbals’ lip balms. Let us dive into why this duo is the king of lip nourishment:

Almond Oil: When applied to the lips, almond oil establishes a barrier that halts moisture loss. This is because almond oil is a potent emollient that locks in hydration and consequently ensures that lips remain nourished. Almond oil is especially rich in vitamin E - a natural antioxidant. This vitamin helps shield the delicate skin of your lips from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors as well as helping repair damaged skin cells. Almond oil is also anti-inflammatory, which helps in healing chapped and irritable lips. It calms inflammation with its soothing nature - a great remedy for lips exposed to harsh conditions. Vitamin E acts as a UV shield as well, providing some protection from harmful sun rays. Almond oil’s skin lightening abilities can help reverse lip pigmentation caused by coffee consumption, sun exposure or even make-up; restoring the lips to their original colour when applied consistently. It can also substitute for lip gloss as it leaves a glossy shine without any stickiness. The fatty acid content of almond oil helps improve the texture of lips, helping them feel softer and smoother. These fatty acids also stimulate collagen production, ensuring natural fullness and shape. As a bonus, almond oil is safe to ingest unlike chemical alternatives. Thus, if ingested during eating or drinking, no need to fear!

Beeswax: Like almond oil, beeswax also traps in moisture, forming a protective barrier on the lips that prevents hydration from leaving. This shields the lips from factors like harsh sun rays. Beeswax is rich in vitamin A, which helps in cell regeneration - keeping the lips smooth and soft. It also has anti-bacterial properties that help prevent and treat infections. Also, it is suitable for sensitive skin as it is non-irritating. Made up of additional compounds like vitamin B, C and E, beeswax makes for an excellent emollient with anti-inflammatory properties. Its emollient nature seals in moisture, battling dryness, while its anti-inflammatory nature helps soothe chapped or irritated lips. Beeswax creates a barrier between the lips and the external environment, making it ideal for use in extreme climate conditions like heat or cold. Beeswax is also non-comedogenic and doesn’t clog pores, allowing the lips to breathe freely. Akin to almond oil, beeswax is a natural component and unlikely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.
