DIY Lip Balm Recipe
Make your own toxin-free lip balm with only 5 ingredients!
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Beeswax organic, unbleached
- 2 Tbsp Shea butter organic
- 2 Tbsp Coconut oil organic
- 1/4 tsp Oil of your choice I like organic, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil or vitamin E oil
- 5 drops Essential oil(s) I like lemongrass
Instructions
- Boil water in a medium pot, then add your double boiler
- Add beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter to the double boiler, stirring occasionally with a chopstick until melted
- Remove from heat and stir in the oil and essential oils
- Carefully pour into the empty lip balm tubes (my double boiler has a pour spout, which makes it simple!)
- The contents will shrink slightly as it cools, so I save a little extra in my double boiler to top off the tubes a few minutes later.
- Once cool, add the lids and store in a cool, dark location for up to a year.
