Coconut oil lip balm is a necessary skincare product everyone should have on hand. Once you learn how simple it is to make make, you’ll never buy lip balm again!
Have you ever made lip balm before? Homemade lip balm is one of the easiest cosmetics you can make. It took me less than 5 minutes to make this!
When my daughter was three years old, she was FASCINATED with my makeup. She loved to rub sparkle gel over her skin and was always sneaking into her play makeup she got for her birthday (I didn’t buy it for her). I honestly prefer her not to wear any of her play makeup because it isn’t good for her! Many makeup products contain phthalates, which are toxic and linked to reproductive abnormalities.
Keeping it natural is the way to go! Thanks to this recipe, when my little 3-year-old wanted to be a little glamorous I could pull out this lip balm and let her go to town.
After all, it’s just coconut oil and two of its natural friends!
