Making homemade lip balm is one of the simplest self-care gifts we can give ourselves. It requires just a few nourishing ingredients and a small amount of time, yet it brings so much comfort and care to everyday life. If you are a girl on a budget, this recipe is for you because it is affordable, long-lasting, and made with ingredients you can trust.

Lip balm recipe with beeswax, coconut oil, and cocoa butter

Many store-bought lip balms contain fillers, synthetic fragrances, and petroleum-based ingredients that do little to nourish the lips truly. For a long time, I purchased an organic, well-made lip balm online, but it was expensive, especially since I use it daily and go through it quickly. Eventually, I realized it made far more sense to create my own using simple, high-quality ingredients. Making my own lip balm has been one of the best switches I have made, and I have never looked back.

I stick with the same recipe every year. It’s refreshing, light, velvety, and I never grow tired of it. Store all the ingredients together in a labeled container for easy access.

Peppermint and Chocolate – The Perfect Combination for homemade lip balm

I switched to making my own lip balm using a simple 4-ingredient recipe. Beeswax is the main ingredient, so I always choose an organic option, and it is surprisingly affordable to purchase through Amazon. Peppermint and chocolate is the perfect combination, and it’s incredibly light. I use cocoa butter and peppermint oil to create a lip balm that smells and tastes wonderful while deeply nourishing the lips. Cocoa butter helps soften and protect dry skin, and peppermint oil provides a naturally refreshing feel that can help soothe irritation.

Steps to making this DIY lip balm recipe:

1. Create a double-boiler with a saucepan and a glass bowl. 
2. Add the ingredients to the double boiler, minus the essential oil.
3. Put the burner on low to medium and melt the oils together.
4. Once the oils are melted, turn off the burner and carefully remove the glass bowl.
5. Add the essential oil drops and mix.
6. Use the pipette and add the melted oil to each tube. You should be able to fill 13 tubes.
7. The oil will solidify quickly, within 5-10 minutes.
8. Let the tubes sit in a cool place for at least a few hours to solidify completely.

Easily purchase these ingredients on Amazon

Do not let the initial cost of ingredients discourage you from making homemade lip balm with beeswax. You truly get your money’s worth because each ingredient can be used in multiple ways throughout the home. Beeswax can be used to make my homemade Vaseline, cocoa butter works beautifully as a nourishing skin moisturizer, and coconut oil can easily be used in everyday baking.
