Best Homemade Lip Balm For Soft Lips Amazing result

Treat your dry, chapped lips with your own homemade lip balm made with
natural ingredients. It is a great alternative to commercial lip balms
loaded with synthetic chemicals.

How to make your homemade lip balm

Things you will need:

Beeswax
Extra-virgin coconut oil
Castor oil
Raw honey
Peppermint or any other essential oil of your choice (optional)
A microwave or double-boiler
A grater or peeler
A mixing spoon or even a popsicle stick to stir
A mixing bowl
Sterilized lip balm containers or tubes

Steps
1. Shred a ½-ounce bar of beeswax using a grater or peeler and transfer
it into a bowl.

2. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin coconut oil. (Ideally, the
proportion of beeswax to coconut oil should be 1:2.)

3. Add 1 to 1½ teaspoons of castor oil.

4. Melt this mixture in a microwave or a double-boiler.

5. Add ½ to 1 tablespoon of raw honey.

6. Optionally, add 4 or 5 drops of peppermint or any other essential
oil of your choice.


7. Mix it well and quickly transfer it into your lip balm containers
before the mixture cools and hardens.

A single batch of this recipe should be enough to fill 4 to 5 small lip

balm containers.


Store your homemade lip balm in a cool, dry place. It should last for

several months. If your homemade lip balm turns out softer and oilier,

you can also use it as a cuticle cream to soften and moisturize your

cuticles.
