How to Make Lip Balm (Recipe)

When I first learned how to make lip balm, I was immediately surprised at how easy it actually was.
Author Elizabeth Walling

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons organic coconut oil olive oil or shea butter are also good choices
  • 2 tablespoons beeswax granules
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons organic beet root powder or hibiscus powder for tint optional
  • 30 drops of your favorite essential oils optional - here's where I order my essential oils

Instructions

  • Melt the coconut oil and beeswax in a double boiler over medium heat, stirring often until it's all the way melted.
  • Add essentials oils and tint powder (if desired).
  • Carefully (i.e. slowly!) pour a small amount of the liquid into each tube. The mixture can harden quickly, so don't be too slow about it.
  • Let cool for about an hour and then use as you would regular lip balm!
