The gals at ie&Y love this simple kissing salve recipe because it moisturizes their lips without irritating their puckers; many ingredients that work splendidly on the rest of your body can be too harsh for your luscious pout. The salve is food grade, so when you lick it off your lips, you won’t be ingesting chemicals. ie&Y keeps it simple with only four ingredients that are highly stable and won‘t become rancid at room temperature. Many essential oils work well in this salve, (feel free to experiment!) but ie&Y choose lavender for its yummy smell and because it’s easy to source sustainably, it soothes irritated skin, and it eases tension.
