I love this super easy homemade lip balm.
I was hesitant at first to make this because I tried once in the past and did not like my results. This one was SO MUCH better! It goes on nice and smooth.
I made both peppermint and orange (two separate batches).
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Beeswax
1/4 cup Coconut Oil
A few drops of Vitamin E (could use a couple gel capsules or a liquid)
~10 Lip Balm Containers
Peppermint or Orange essential oil (I use Young Living because it's pure and you can ingest)
Glass pouring measuring cup
Directions:
Melt the beeswax and coconut oil together either in a saucepan over low heat (stirring) or microwave 30 seconds at a time stirring in between until melted together.
Once melted, remove from heat and pour into a glass measuring cup with a spout.
Add a couple drops of Vitamin E, and 20 drops of peppermint essential oil, or 30 drops of orange essential oil.
Pour from the measuring cup carefully into the lip balm containers. Let cool & use. One batch makes about 10 lip balms.
One thing I noticed is as the balm settles while drying, it sinks, so you'll want to top them off a few minutes after pouring.
