The best DIY recipe for an all natural lip balm
You will like making this simple Do-It-Yourself three ingredient all natural lip balm recipe. Ingredients include beeswax, coconut oil and an essential oil of choice.
Beeswax Pellets/Pastilles
Beeswax is commonly used in cosmetics. It is derived from honeybees. For the honeybee to obtain one pound of beeswax it must ingest 9-10 pounds of honey and visit almost 18-20 million flowers. Absolutely amazing! As the ole saying goes, “Busy as a bee” proves its point. Using beeswax in lip balm recipes works as a skin softener. It aids in the healing of cracked or dry lips and prevents lips from becoming chapped.
There are three types of beeswax: yellow, white and beeswax absolute.
- Yellow beeswax is the raw product, fully refined and safe for making lip balms.
- White beeswax is naturally bleached through sunlight and moisture. It too is safe for making lip balms.
- Beeswax absolute is yellow and has been extracted from the honeycomb with solvents. Not recommended.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is used primarily for its moisturizing effects. Making it ideal for chapped lips. Since coconut oil can be found in liquid or solid form this recipe calls for the solid form.
Essential Oils For Lip Balms
Adding essential oils is only recommendation. You can always add your own creation or combination or none at all. The following essential oils are usually safe when making lip balm:
- Camphor (intended for cold sores. Use 1-2 drops for adults only)
- Clove (very warming, use 1 to 2 drops)
- Lemon (distilled, not cold pressed)
- Lime (distilled not cold-pressed)
- Mandarin
- Orange
- Peppermint
- Spearmint
- Tangerine – my favorite!
- Tea Tree Oil (anti-bacterial, anti-viral. Use sparingly, short-term and only in adults)
- Vanilla Absolute
