Easy Natural DIY Lip Balm

Why spend $3 or more per tube of lip balm? You can make it yourself in just minutes and for a fraction of the cost. Plus, every ingredient is all natural and safe to use over and over again! The directions below will make a couple of small lip gloss jars or tubes. You can double the recipe or stick to the ratio of 1 part beeswax to 2 parts oil to make as much as you want! Adding different oils will feel and taste different, so experiment and find what you love most.

What You’ll Need:

• 1 tsp. of grated packed down beeswax or beeswax pellets
• 2 tsp. of coconut oil
• 4-5 drops of Vitamin E oil
• 1/2 tsp. of honey
• To make colored lip balm, you’ll need some of your favorite blush or lipstick (optional)

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients together and microwave for 10 seconds. Stir, then another 10 seconds. Do this over and over until it is fully melted and mixed together.
2. Once everything is melted and mixed, IMMEDIATELY and carefully pour the mixture into the container of your choice.
3. Allow to cool and fully harden (a few hours) before using or giving as a gift.
