#8 DIY Organic Lip Balm

DIY Organic Lip Balm

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp shea butter
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 2 tbsp beeswax
• 1 tsp jojoba/almond/vitamin E oil (optional but great for really dry or chapped lips)
• 15 drop of essential oils (Peppermint, lavender, sweet orange, and grapefruit are my favourites)
• Old lip balm tubes or lip balm tins

Method:

This post will be short and sweet because this recipe is literally so simple. Check out how easy it is to make:

• Combine all ingredients except the essential oil in a double boiler on the stove. You can make your own by placing a small pot in a larger pot filled with water.
• Melt all the ingredients until well combined, stirring frequently so the mixture doesn’t burn.
• Remove from heat and let stand for about a minute and then add in your essential oils. Mix well.
• Transfer mixture to tins or lip balm tubes and let cool completely. This may take a few hours.
• Your lip balm is ready to use when mixture is completely cooled!
