DIY Lip Balm
Melting down all of the ingredients in a ‘double boiler’ of sorts. A bowl over a pot of boiling water.
It took awhile for the beeswax to melt down. The Beeswax Pellets would probably be easier to melt down.
I used a dropper (found here) to fill the tubes individually.
Arial view of finished tubes. (find tubes here)
Arial view of little tubs (found here)….think Carmex….only this was a FAIL. Carmex is soft. This balm gets soft from the warmth of your lips. You can’t get to your lips with the little tub so I have to pop these out and melt them down again.


- 1 oz Beeswax
- 2T. Coconut Oil
- 1T. Shea Butter
- 1T. Cocoa Butter
- 20 Drops Peppermint Essential Oil
- 10 drops Lavender Essential Oil
- In a double boiler melt everything, except essential oils, together until well blended.
- Remove from heat
- Add essential oils
- Stir
- Pour into lip balm tubes
- Place the tubes in the refrigerator after capping
- I used 8-10 drops of peppermint and it was super mild.....If you want it a little zingy add more.
- You could also use Wild Orange Essential Oil
