DIY Shea Butter Lip Balm Recipe
Equipment
- 1 Double-boiler - I use a medium pot & a glass bowl to sit on top of the pot with simmering water
- Small funnel - or pipettes, which are actually quite handy to keep around when DIYing
- 20 Lip balm tubes - or small tins or glass jars
Ingredients
- 1 oz Shea Butter
- 1 oz Beeswax
- 1 oz Coconut Oil
- 1 tsp Honey
- 15-20 drops Lemon essential oil
- 5 drops Roman chamomile essential oil
- 3-5 drops Lavender essential oil
- 2-4 drops Orange essential oil
Instructions
- Fill a medium pot about half full with tap water and place on the stove. Create a double boiler and place a smaller pot inside of the medium one. Turn on stovetop to low/medium heat.
- Add shea butter, beeswax, and coconut oil to the pot and allow all ingredients to melt. Whisk to help them melt.
- Once melted, turn off stovetop heat.
- Whisk in raw honey and essential oils.
- Use a pipette or funnel to transfer hot lip balm into containers of choice.
- Allow lip balm to cool for 1 hour before use. Store in your purse, bathroom, bedside table, and hide one in a drawer at work!
