Homemade Lip Balm

  • Ingredients:
    • 2 tablespoons beeswax pellets
    • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
    • 1 tablespoon shea butter
    • 5 drops peppermint essential oil- optional (for a refreshing feel)
  • Instructions:
    • Melt the beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter together in a double boiler or microwave.
    • Once melted, remove from heat and add the peppermint oil.
    • Pour the mixture into small lip balm containers and allow it to cool and harden.
    • Use this soothing balm throughout the day to protect your lips.

When using any essential oils, always do a skin test for allergies and wait 24 hours before using.
