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
- 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
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!
