Organic Lip Balm



An organic, natural way to keep your lips hydrated and Oh-so-kissable!! Also, you can personalize this recipe with your favorite essential oil or flavors (like your favorite cocktail or dessert), or even make multiple ones! How cool is that? ;) Just make sure you have an empty plastic jar, or little container, to keep it there.

Note: Do NOT try this recipe if you have severe bee allergies!




You will need:
  • 2 tbsp beeswax
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp shea butter
  • Containers (You may recycle an used chapstick container too!)
  • Medicinal Dropper
  • 5 drops of essential oil or a couple drops of your favorite flavoring (vanilla extract is one of my favorites! But any flavoring you use in the kitchen will work).


Melt beeswax in a small pan over low heat. Add coconut oil and shea butter, melting the ingredients together. Add your essential oils here. 
Using the dropper, pour the melted liquid into your containers. Add a few extra drops to the top after filling each container as the ingredients will shrink as they cool.
Cool completely to harden. Cover with cap and decorate or label if you'd like.
