DIY ~Make Your Own Lip Balms~

There’s something so satisfying about creating your own beauty products, especially when they’re made with simple, natural ingredients you can trust. Lip balm is one of those everyday essentials that we reach for countless times, so why not make it yourself? With just a few ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, olive oil, vitamin E, and a touch of essential oil for fragrance, you can whip up a moisturizing, nourishing balm that keeps your lips soft and smooth. Not only is it a fun DIY project, but it’s also a great way to skip the store-bought versions filled with additives. Plus, homemade lip balm makes a thoughtful little gift for friends or a treat just for you!

 I couldn’t believe how simple this was. Think of all the money you can save by buying organic at the store.

 

Ingredients
2 vitamin E capsules
1 Tablespoon beeswax
2 Tablespoons. coconut oil
2 Tablespoons. olive oil
20 drops essential oil (I used lemon)

In a double boiler, melt down the beeswax, adding the coconut oil and olive oil when about half of the beeswax has melted. After it’s all melted and blended together, break open the vitamin E capsules and stir in with the essential oils.

If you don’t have a double boiler, you could also follow the same instructions above and heat in your microwave.  Just make sure you stir every 30 seconds until everything is melted together.

Pour into your tubes using a syringe or a funnel all the way to the top and work quickly.  If you don’t have tubes you could also use a recycled eye cream jar like I did.  Let is cool, add the lids and enjoy nice moisturized lips during the Summer heat.

 ~Voila, homemade lip balm~

I love that all the ingredients are natural and you can have fun using different essential oils like peppermint for a cooling feeling on your lips.
